Studies On The Sanitary Measures Taken For Production Of Cat-Gut

1. Inves-ti6 e.tions sse x e carried out to compare theeffect of different met ho ds of pr ep ar atzi on and preservationof sheep cas mgs for cat gut production.2. Seventy two small sheep intestines of app ar ant e Iyhealthy animals were used in this work.3. Irhe fresh cleaning met.hod proved to be the bestmethod of preparation compared with the fermentation methodwhich caused a de cr-e as e in the tensile strength of sheepeasmg s ami cat-gut pr o cuce d ,4. 6teril~ salt is recommended for preservation asit gives hioh tensile strength ot casings and cat-sgue ,5.
