“…It may cause acute disease in calves, eosinophilic myositis in cattle, and abortions, stillbirths and deaths in pregnant cows 55 . Bovine eosinophilic myositis is primarily responsible for cattle condemnation after meat inspection 56 . Inflammation, hepatitis and myocarditis are the main lesions of acute and subacute ovine sarcocystosis caused by S tenella 57 .…”

Feeding raw meat-based diets (RMBDs) to companion animals has become increasingly popular. Since these diets may be contaminated with bacteria and parasites, they may pose a risk to both animal and human health. The purpose of this study was to test for the presence of zoonotic bacterial and parasitic pathogens in Dutch commercial RMBDs. We analysed 35 commercial frozen RMBDs from eight different brands. serotype O157:H7 was isolated from eight products (23 per cent) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing was found in 28 products (80 per cent). was present in 19 products (54 per cent), other species in 15 products (43 per cent) and species in seven products (20 per cent). Concerning parasites, four products (11 per cent) contained and another four (11 per cent) In two products (6 per cent) was found. The results of this study demonstrate the presence of potential zoonotic pathogens in frozen RMBDs that may be a possible source of bacterial infections in pet animals and if transmitted pose a risk for human beings. If non-frozen meat is fed, parasitic infections are also possible. Pet owners should therefore be informed about the risks associated with feeding their animals RMBDs.
