Investigation of characteristics and classification for swine vertebral osteomyelitis in South Korea
The VO classification scheme tested in this study demonstrated high sensitivity (100%), indicating its robustness in avoiding false negatives and ensuring food safety. Of the carcasses that could have undergone unnecessary condemnation, 22.2% were excluded. The results indicate that the VO classification scheme is recommended as a measure to reduce unnecessary total condemnation induced by VO.
