[Bacteriological features in evisceration of broilers (author's transl)].
The total aerobic bacterial count and the number of Enterobacteriaceae in the pericloacal skin of broilers did not show any fundamental changes resulting from the processes of evisceration studied, averaging 5.3 logN/gram and 4.0 logN/gram respectively. The interior organs such as the liver and heart were severely contaminated, particularly by the evisceration proper and manual removal of the intestines. There are fairly marked differences in levels of contamination between the portions of skin sampled, which differences are levelled out to some extent during the process of evisceration. Possible causes of the differences in levels of contamination are stated.
