Abstract
Atotal of 200 swabs were obtained from the side surfaces of
100 cow and buffalo carcasses (56 cows and 44 buffaloes). The
carcasses swabbed were 50 from each of the two slaughter halls.
The collected swabs were examined bacteriologically
Coliform count, mould and yeast count before and after
evisceration in slaughter hall A. While, there were no
significant differences between the mean values of
Enterococci and Staphylococci. In slaughter hall B, there were
significant differences between the mean values of total
aerobic bacterial count, Enterobacteriaceae count, Coliform
count, Enterococci count, Staphylococci count and mould and
yeast count/ cm2 before and after dressing and evisceration of
cattle carcasses.
1. There were significant differences between the mean values of
Enterobacteriaceae count, Coliform count, Enterococci count
and Staphylococci count between slaughter hall A and B,
while there were no significant differences of total aerobic
bacterial count and mould and yeast count of slaughter halls
A and B.
2. There were significant differences between the mean values of
total aerobic bacterial count, Enterobacteriaceae count,
Coliform count and mould and yeast count before and after
dressing and evisceration in slaughter hall A, while there were
no significant differences in Enterococci count and
Staphylococci count before and after dressing and
evisceration. In slaughter hall B, there were significant
differences (P<0.05) between total aerobic bacterial count,
Enterobacteriaceae count, Coliform count, Enterococci count,
Staphylococci count and mould and yeast count before and
after dressing and evisceration.
