Microbiological examination of the meat of animals affected by echinococcosis

Abstract

The purpose of our research was to monitor the safety and quality of slaughter products of cattle and small cattle obtained in the conditions of the Aktobe region. Under certain conditions, animal slaughter products can be a source of not only typical infectious and invasive diseases in humans (echinococcosis, cysticercosis, etc.), but also various food diseases, which include toxicoinfections and toxicoses. Toxicoinfections and toxicoses are a large group of mainly acute food diseases of people. The very names “food diseases”, “food toxicoinfections”, “food toxicoses” indicate that the main role in their occurrence is played by food products. The consistency of the meat, the smell, the state of the muscles on the cut, the transparency and aroma of the broth, the pH of the meat of a healthy animal and a sick animal, the calculation of CMAFAnM, the amount of BGCP in 0.1 grams of the test product, the number of Salmonella bacteria in 25 g of the test product were determined. According to the results of the organoleptic examination, a conclusion was made about the freshness of the meat. Meat of cattle and small cattle, classified according to the results of organoleptic evaluation and bacteriological examination as meat of questionable freshness, is subjected to chemical and microscopic analyses. At present, with a variety of producing enterprises, various forms of ownership with a possible violation of technological production modes and violation of sanitary standards, poor-quality meat of cattle and MSS can enter the consumer market, which can become a source of various infectious and invasive diseases. Therefore, the quality expertise of this product group is very important and relevant.
