Campylobacter is a foodborne pathogen commonly found in live poultry and raw poultry products. Identifying areas of contamination or modes of transmission during commercial processing can lead to strategies to reduce the level of Campylobacter on finished products. Monitoring levels of airborne Campylobacter may be useful for identifying the presence or relative concentration of the pathogen in...

the genus campylobacter  is of great importance to public health because it includes several species that may cause diarrhoea. poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. in this study, during the autumn months of 2005, a total of 100 samples from poultry carcasses, representing 20 broiler flocks were obtained by rinse test, after the chilling stage ...

H pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has spread across Asia, Europe, and Africa. Not limited to poultry, the virus has also been shown to cross the species barrier infecting humans (1) and felines, including domestic cats (2) and tigers (3–5). Both cats and tigers were reported as becoming infected after eating poultry carcasses harboring HPAI. Here, we report a case of HPAI H5N1 infection ...

An effective method for the decontamination of surfaces of poultry carcasses was applied with the use of active chlorine in aqueous solution. Analyses were carried out for three strains of Campylobacter jejuni that were used to contaminate surfaces of the following cuts of poultry carcass: breasts, legs and wings, thus obtaining stock inoculum of ca. 3 x 10 cfu/cm of the surface area. Two-minut...

Salmonella contamination of poultry is a global public health problem. The objective of this study was to map the distribution of Salmonella on the young chicken carcass, to improve poultry inspection and food safety. Young chickens (n = 70) in the Cornish game hen class were obtained at retail over a 3-year period. Carcasses were aseptically sectioned into 12 parts, and then Salmonella was iso...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of various Salmonella serotypes in chickens, carcass contact surfaces as well as environmental samples collected from wet markets and small scale processing plant. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 182 poultry and environmental samples were collected at random on separate occasions from wet markets and small scale processing plant, duri...

Foodborne Campylobacter-associated gastroenteritis remains a public health concern, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that improperly handled poultry is the most important source of this human disease. In response to these concerns, 10 of the largest U.S. poultry integrators cooperatively determined the incidence and counts of Campylobacter on processed broiler carcass...

The article substantiates the strategy of innovative development animal husbandry in Bryansk region. main indicators are studied. dynamics population animals, poultry, rabbits and bee colonies is analyzed. structure livestock products manufacturing, including production cattle poultry carcass weight, milk, eggs honey, calculated. productivity animals estimated, average daily weight gain pigs, a...

Four or 5 decades ago one of the main concerns was to extend the shelf life of refrigerated processed poultry. Some Salmonella analyses were done but primarily indicator organisms were used. At that time Campylobacter were not yet recognized as a foodborne (poultryborne) enteropathogen. At present, both of these microorganisms are routinely tested for both by cultural and rapid, high tech metho...

Thirty-two Hubbard and 40 Egyptian Fayoumi (dual-purpose) chickens were slaughtered in series at 2-wk intervals between 2-8 wk and 2-10 wk of age, respectively. Genetic differences in the allometric fat growth equation constants were studied. Relative to total body fat (TBF), the breeds did not differ significantly in relative growth of non-carcass fat. The Fayoumi tended to lay down carcass fa...
