Abstract

Air inflation is currently used in Italy for depelting lambs under 15kg live weight. The lamb carcasses have a better appearance and there is a lower incidence of cuts to the subcutaneous fat or muscles. However, the prevention of physical and microbiological hazards should be secured. Hand depelting with air inflation resulted in carcasses having a better appearance in terms of shape and L* value, and surface microbial load similar to carcasses depelted without air inflation.
