Assessment of microbial quality in poultry drinking water on farms in Austria.

The quality of poultry drinking water has a significant effect on broiler health and performance. This study conducted an analysis of aerobic mesophilic counts (AMC), (EB), (PS), and screened for the presence of spp. in water samples collected from a total of 14 farms in Austria, with either a public or private water source.

Characterization of and during Cooked Pork Ham Processing.

Cooked ham is a popular, ready-to-eat product made of pork meat that is susceptible to microbial growth throughout its shelf life. In this study, we aimed to monitor the microbial growth and composition of nine vacuum-packed cooked ham lots using plate counting until the microbial limit of 7.4 log AMC/LAB CFU/g was exceeded.
