Efficacy of electrolyzed oxidizing water and lactic acid on the reduction of Campylobacter on naturally contaminated broiler carcasses during processing

Campylobacter is the most commonly reported gastrointestinal bacterial pathogen in humans in many developed countries. During slaughter of broiler flocks, it is difficult to avoid contamination of broiler carcasses. This study aimed to quantify Campylobacter contamination on broiler carcasses at 5 points in the slaughter processing during the slaughter of a Campylobacter-colonized flock by real-time PCR and conventional enumeration. In addition,...
