USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation announce the completion of a funded evaluation problem by researchers at Kansas State Faculty that aimed to guage the connection between indicator microorganisms and Salmonella at re-hang and post-chill phases. The evaluation was made potential partially by an endowing Foundation current from Cargill. The evaluation is part of the Affiliation’s full evaluation program encompassing all phases of poultry and egg manufacturing and processing. A summary of the completed problem is beneath.
Endeavor 739: Use of Qualitative and Quantitative Microbial Data to Determine if Turkey Pre-Chill and Publish-Chill Sampling Are Predictive of Salmonella enterica Contamination in Flooring Turkey
(Dr. Jessie Vipham and colleagues, Division of Animal Science and Enterprise, Kansas State Faculty, Manhattan, Kan.)
At current, USDA-FSIS mandates that giant turkey processors sample one turkey out of every 3,000 at every re-hang (pre-chill) and post-chill processing steps to disclose course of administration. Understanding the connection between indicator microorganism ranges at these phases and the presence of Salmonella in ground turkey can improve course of administration strategies and testing packages. Dr. Jessie Vipham and colleagues at Kansas State Faculty aimed to guage the connection between indicator microorganisms and Salmonella at re-hang and post-chill phases. The analysis assessed whether or not or not this system may reliably predict Salmonella contamination at closing grind, enhancing the turkey commerce’s ability to fulfill regulatory requirements. Findings provided insights into the prevalence and administration of Salmonella contamination on turkey carcasses between re-hang, post-chill and ground turkey. Data was produced which will be utilized to inform commerce decision-making.
