Abstract
6.1. Assessment of rabbit meat quality:
A total of 100 rabbit samples were randomly collected from Dakahlia Governorate. Meat samples were taken from thigh and back (50, of each). The collected samples were investigated and examined bacteriologically for the existence of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, and Psychrotrophic bacteria .
The obtained results revealed that the Enterobacteriaceae counts in the fresh thigh and back meat samples were ranged from 3 to 5 and 4.23 to 5.53 log10cfu/g with mean values of 3.98 ± 0.10 and 4.79 ± 0.09 log10cfu/g, respectively. The Enterobacteriaceae occurrence was positive in 70% and 60% of the examined fresh thigh and back meat samples, respectively.
The result declared that the Pseudomonas counts in the fresh thigh and back meat samples were ranged from 4.70 to 7.46 and 5 to 7.38 log10cfu/g with mean values of 5.90 ± 0.13 and 5.98± 0.12 log10cfu/g, respectively. The Pseudomonas occurrence was positive in 90% of both samples.
The Psychrotrophes counts in the fresh thigh and back meat samples were ranged from 4.08 to 7.20 and 4.70 to 6.95 log10cfu/g with mean values of 5.67 ± 0.15 and 6.10 ± 0.1 log10cfu/g, respectively. The Psychrotrophes occurrence was positive in 90% of both samples.
