SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION OF EQUIPMENT AND BEEF CARCASSES IN THE BERLIN (WEST) SLAUGHTERHOUSE EVALUATED BY VARIOUS ENRICHMENT PROCEDURES

Abstract: The spread of salmonellae in the abattoir environment during the slaughtering of cattle in the Berlin (West) slaughterhouse was investigated. A total of 99 (3.66%) out of 2704 swab samples were positive. Cutting off the hooves andpreskinning gave the highest recovery of salmonellae. Less recoveries were obtained aJier opening the abdominal cavity. Removal of head, loosening the skin of head, removing the hide and splitting the breastbone and the carcass did not result in the isolation of the organism. Salmonel… Show more

“…have been isolated from retail meat products (Lammerding et al 1988;Dubbert 1988), and in some instances, Salmonella strains responsible for human outbreaks have been traced back to a particular infected herd or animal (Holmberg et al 1984;Spika et al 1987). In most instances, however, contamination of meat occurs during postmortem processing or handling, with transfer of pathogens from skin, feathers, hair, or intestinal contents to equipment and carcasses (Stolle 1987).…”

“…Contamination of meat usually occurs during postmortem processing or handling, with transfer of pathogens from skin, feathers, hair, or intestinal contents to equipment and carcasses (Stolle, 1987). Carcass sanitizing with use of high pressure water spray with or without chlorine added, detergents, or organic acid solution may decrease microbial loads as well as some of the pathogens on carcass surfaces (Dickson and Anderson, 1992).…”
