Abstract

Evaluation of meat hygiene practices in meat processing plants was conducted monitoring and evaluation of efficient implementation of hygiene principles. The research activities were lasting for three years. Application of hygiene principles for processing rooms, equipment and meat surfaces were done according working dynamic and hygiene program for implementation of hygiene practices during meat processing. Monitoring of hygiene and sanitary measures implementation was done with swabbing and plate count. The result indicated that from 1661 control swab samples taking during research period, only 61 (3.67%) were positive. Hygiene assessment of equipment indicated 4.03% positive swab samples, and 4.23% positive swab samples were detected when the hygiene of working surfaces and workers was assessed. The lowest number of positive swab samples was registered when the hygiene of processing tools and utensils was assessed. At all levels of meat processing, the highest hygiene parameters were registered in the secound year of study. In coclusion, according the assessed hygiene evaluation, the hygiene principles are implemented in all level of meat processing in agreement with national legislation laing down meat hygiene.
