Sensitivity values of microflora carcasses of sheep and pigs to some antibiotics

Abstract

Globalization of the food chain causes constant new challenges and risks for health and consumer interests. The main objective of food safety is currently achieving the highest possible level of health protection human consumer interests in relation to food. For this reason the study aimed at assessing the presence and diversity of microorganisms in pig and sheep carcasses during trading and the sensitivity of isolated microbial flora to some of frequently used antibiotics for animal treatment. As a result of investigation it was determined that the risk of carcasses contamination is more common bacterial flora of the external order and takes place immediately after the slaughter of the animal. A higher sensitivity of isolated micro flora from sheep carcasses was observed against enrofloxacin and oxytetracycline, which resin area was more than 25mm.
