Abstract
In a method and device for processing a slaughtered animal or part thereof, which, in a conveyer, is passed along a slaughter line, the following steps are carried out: an identification is assigned to the slaughtered animal or part thereof; one or more observations are performed on the slaughtered animal or part thereof; a test result is determined for the slaughtered animal or part thereof, which test result comprises an approval or rejection, on the basis of the observation data; the test result is stored in conjunction with the corresponding identification. On the basis of the stored test result, the identified slaughtered animal or part thereof can be removed from the slaughter line by an automatic discharging device or a separating device, which each have a first and a second discharge for removing a slaughtered animal or part thereof which has been approved or rejected, respectively.
