Abstract

One of the areas of biological defense is livestock and poultry threats and assessing the health risks of foodborne germs, including Salmonella, is of great importance in many aspects. Chicken meat is a good product for the transmission of this infection to consumers and is considered as a salmonella reservoir. The aim of this study is to reduce salmonella contamination in poultry carcasses which happened with the change in production and processing. In a study during 2014-2017, 383 pieces of poultry were randomly sampled. After the stages of purification and isolation of suspicious cultures, isolated Salmonella were confirmed by biochemical, serological and PCR tests. With using PCR method, 15 samples were positive for Salmonella. By applying the Instructions of the country's veterinary organization, the rate of polution has fallen sharply. Reducing salmonella contamination in poultry pieces is due to health control, packaging and identification of chicken carcasses in industrial slaughterhouses. Intentional and unintentional nonconformity with health issues in the production chain to chicken consumption will impose irreparable damage.
