Hygiene Indicators and Salmonellae on Surfaces of Swine Carcasses from Two Slaughterhouses in Northern Portugal

Marcio Moura-Alves et al.

Summary: The study aimed to collect data on microbial loads before and after evisceration on the surfaces of swine carcasses in two slaughterhouses. Significant differences were found in counts of bacteria on the external carcass surfaces, with higher counts after evisceration. Salmonella was detected in only one of the studied slaughterhouses, and the majority of the isolates were multidrug resistant.
