To obtain microbiological data from ostrich carcasses at slaughter, a total of 130 samples were collected using the double wet/dry swab technique from the thigh and rib site of 65 carcasses. Total bacterial count (TBC) and Enterobacteriaceae were detected at level of 1.35 Log CFU/cm2 in the thigh site and 1.62 Log CFU/cm 2 in the rib site and 0.57 Log CFU/cm2 in the thigh site and 0.53 Log CFU/ cm2 in the rib site, respectively. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated in one rib sample (0.8%). Salmonella derby was isolated in two thigh site samples and one rib site sample (2.3%).

Abstract
To obtain microbiological data from ostrich carcasses at slaughter, a total of 130 samples were collected using the double wet/dry swab technique from the thigh and rib site of 65 carcasses. Total bacterial count (TBC) and Enterobacteriaceae were detected at level of 1.35 Log CFU/cm2 in the thigh site and 1.62 Log CFU/cm 2 in the rib site and 0.57 Log CFU/cm2 in the thigh site and 0.53 Log CFU/ cm2 in the rib site, respectively. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated in one rib sample (0.8%). Salmonella derby was isolated in two thigh site samples and one rib site sample (2.3%).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
