Summary of work to control pathogens in poultry processing.
The National Broiler Council and Southeastern Poultry and Egg Association sponsored a study to determine whether various processing modifications would significantly alter the microflora of processed broilers. The results of this study were presented as part of the symposium and have been published in the Journal of Applied Poultry Research. Other current research topics covered include water recycling, scald and chill water treatments, and the effects of dietary manipulation on intestinal colonization and carcass contamination.
