Conclusion and Recommendations - 65 - CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The obtained results in this study indicated that chicken carcasses purchased from Mansoura city were contaminated with high incidence of E. coli, and hence they may constitute a great public health hazard and that the application of the PCR targeted specific genes for identification of E. coli is more rapid, accurate, and reliable technique than the conventional cultural and biochemical methods. On the other hand, to safeguard consumer against the hazards which result from consumption of chicken meat contaminated with beta lactamase producing E. coli the following recommendation measures should be applied, and there are Coordinated actions are needed to terminate or reduce the risks caused by present of E. coli at various stages in the food chain. These include Good Agricultural practice (GAP), Good Manufacturing practice (GMP), and Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) at every stage of the meat supply chain, from the farm through to the slaughter house, to the retailer, and to those involved with the handling chicken in the home. I. On-farm practices: 1. There is a need for improving the sanitary conditions of farms and applying pre-harvest measures on-farm or on management practices (e.g., animal factors, drinking water, dietary ingredients, and feeding regimens) that can be manipulated to decrease the carriage and fecal shedding of E. coli. 2. The use of different feeding regimes to reduce carriage of E. coli in chicken in the days prior to slaughter. 3. Incorporating chlorate into feed or drinking water before slaughter was shown to effectively reduce numbers of E. coli. 4. Effective treatment of chicken waste. 5. Suggestion that present of veterinarians in every farm. 6. The drugs which used must be prescribed by veterinary doctor
