Effect of bacterial load on chickens entering the processing plant on final carcass contamination [abstract]. Advances in Post-Harvest Interventions to Reduce Salmonella in Poultry, February 23-24, 2006, Atlanta, Georgia. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Regulatory and poultry industry efforts to control Salmonella in the United States have focus primarily on the processing plant. Industry and research studies have strongly suggested that the level of Salmonella entering the processing plant will impact the ability of in-plant interventions to reduce the presence of Salmonella to acceptable levels. The expected rates of colonization of broiler chickens at the farm, the spread of Salmonella during transport, and the resulting internal and external carriage of the Salmonella into the processing plant will be discussed. In addition, a brief overview of potential strategies to reduce Salmonella on the farm will be included. |
