Can anyone kindly help me understand liver? See this white spot on a beaver liver I got this morning? Is it ok? Is it normal? Is the meat (animal itself) ok to eat?
I worry about liver all the time. Thank you very much for your help.

1.) Is there something wrong with it you know about I can call it?
2.) What about the meat from the animal (legs, backstrap, etc)?
Thanks.

White on the liver is a sign of disease in the animal-toss it and wash up with Dettol.

Since we don't have a clinical confirmation of which disease the white on the liver represents,I wouldn't take a chance.

Thank you all for your help. You are the experts, not me; And if erroring on the side of caution is warranted here, then that's what I need to do.

I don't think it is worth taking a chance. The first thing I look at when considering an animal for consumption is the liver and kidneys.White spots or any white or hard spots on these organs can indicate diseases.

Probably would if cooked thoroughly,but still a chance of contamination while processing and handling.Especially tularemia.

Wouldn't thoroughly cooking the meat kill any disease? The answer to your question is NO ? To kill Chronic wasting disease Prions, you have to cook the venison to ash.

X2 and i also look at other glands threw out the animal. If they are inlarged, its a noneater.
Let me sugar coat this

Now you guys got me a little worried about CWD. The county I live in we have to get our deer checked first two days of season for CWD. I got my buck on Monday and didn't have to get it checked. My son got his buck on adjoining county where you don't have to get them checked, they haven't found any sign of CWD there. To get to the point his deer had a huge puss pocket in the round of the hind leg and I cut and threw most of the meat there. Yesterday we cut the antlers and scull cap from his deer and my deer and another one we had in the freezer. The deer with the puss pocket had a brain that was mush. Mine and the other one was firm and looked good. He said he was afraid the deer might of had CWD. Well I have this deer all processed and in the freezer. They say there is no sign that humans can get CWD. So I don't know what to do now? We even took some to be processed into sausage at processors. I already ate two deer patties from that deer to see how it tasted mixed with pork. I guess if it has to be cooked at those high temperatures I am out of luck. Does this mean we are going to have to stop eating deer meat?

Not 100% sure but if it is like mad cow it is in the brain and spinal column.
