Brazilian poultry farming is constantly under development due to investments in infrastructure, genetics, sanitation and management, thus achieving high levels of productivity, consecrated in this way as the second largest producer of broilers in the world. Among the factors that make the country's poultry a reference worldwide, the inspection of products of animal origin promoted by government agencies demonstrates success in providing a higher quality and safety for the consumers, since errors in the industrial handling of the carcasses and diverse illnesses become responsible for total and partial condemnations. This retrospective study aimed to verify the frequency of partial condemnation of carcasses of broilers affected by arthritis in a slaughterhouse located in the mesoregion of Criciúma in the south of the State of Santa Catarina, where data from the period between September 2016 and August 2017, 1.564.866 broilers were slaughtered, of these 260.509 were convicted with some type of irregularity in the inspection, and of these carcasses, 1321 presented lesions characteristic of arthritis, corresponding to 0,5% of all condemnations in the studied period.
