Causas de condenações post-mortem de perus abatidos em estabelecimento com Serviço de Inspeção Federal (SIF) no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil

Abstract

ResumoEste estudo objetivou identificar as principais causas de condenações de perus abatidos sob Serviço de Inspeção Federal, além de verificar as estações do ano em que as condenações são mais frequentes. Dentre o número total de condenações post-mortem, 99,06% foi devido a condenações parciais e 0,94% devido a condenações totais. As causas de condenação parcial mais frequentes foram devido à aerossaculite (41,24%), seguida de contaminação biliar (23,73%). As causas de condenação total mais frequentes foram em função de aspecto repugnante (51,62%) e dermatose (22,71%). A estação do ano que apresentou maior frequência de condenações tanto totais quanto parciais foi a primavera. Verificou-se que na mesorregião analisada, as condenações encontradas foram em sua maioria, em função de causas infecciosas, sugerindo uma melhoria no manejo sanitário dos animais durante a criação, sobretudo na primavera.Palavras-chave: Abate, condenações, peru, SIF. AbstractThis study aimed to identify the main reasons of condemnation of turkeys slaughtered under Federal Inspection Service and to verifying the seasons of the year in which condemnations are more frequent. For the analysis, were used the data from one Federal Inspection Service of a poultry slaughter plant located at the "Triângulo Mineiro" and "Alto Paranaíba" region, "Minas Gerais", during the period from august 2008 to july 2009. Were inspected 8,153,866 turkeys from 19 cities located in this mesoregion. Of these, 1,767,503 (21.68%) had some type of post-mortem condemnation. The main causes of condemnation (partial and total) were grouped by month and season, in order to determine what were the condemnations of greater and lesser frequency in turkeys slaughtered during the period analyzed. 1,750,863 (21.47%) turkeys were partial condemned and 16,640 (0.21%) were totally condemned. Among the total number of condemnations post-mortem, 99.06% was due to partial condemnations and 0.94% was due to total condemnations. The causes of partial condemnations more frequent were aerial sacs infection (41.24%) followed by bile contamination (23.73). The causes of total condemnation were all more frequent due to repugnant aspect (51.62%) and dermatosis (22.71%). The season with the highest frequency of both total and partial condemnations was the spring. It was found that in the analyzed region, the condemnations were found mostly due to infectious causes, suggesting an improvement in the sanitary handling of animals during the creation, especially in the spring.

Broiler carcass condemnation pattern during processing

“…In a study in two slaughterhouses in Midwestern Brazil, Santana et al (2008) found a small percentage of condemnations by cellulitis and attributed it to broiler management. Condemnations by airsacculitis in the current study were relatively low when compared with those found by Moura et al (2012). The inflammation of one or more of the air sacs was also the most significant cause of partial turkey carcass condemnation described by Macahyba et al (2005) in a study in Southern Brazil.…”

Classificação dos graus de lesões de aerossaculite em perus associadas com enterobactérias

“…Há apenas quatro levantamentos registrados na literatura em relação ao índice de condenação em abatedouros de perus; são estes: Macahyba et al (2005), Schletein (2007), Abujamra (2010) e Moura et al, (2012), sendo, no presente estudo, a condenação por aerossaculite muito mais elevada em três deles; apenas Moura et al (2012), no estado de Minas Gerais, teve índices mais elevados (41,24%, 722.119 carcaças condenadas).…”
