Abstract

Unsuitable sanitary conditions and mishandling are the main causes of environmental pollution in slaughter, Slaughter are a major source of bacterial contamination in poultry meat and its products, which is a major health and economic concern for many researchers. 18 samples were taken from six slaughterhouses in Babil Governorate (three samples from poultry slaughterhouses and three samples from ruminant slaughter, where sample numbers 1, 2 and 3 were divided into poultry slaughter and sample numbers 4, 5 and 6 were divided into ruminant slaughterhouses from the period from January 2024 to April 2024. Analyzing the microbial contamination in the slaughter of Babylonian poultry and ruminants. Media Transporter tubes containing peptone water were used to transport, collect and store samples from the slaughterhouses and transport them to the laboratory. The validity of the sample transporter is 24 hours. The results of the experiment showed the emergence of bacterial contamination of pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, E.coli bacteria, and bacteria Pseudomonas, Salmonella, and Shigela bacteria were found in all study samples from the above-mentioned sites, some of which were found in high numbers, indicating a lack of interest in cleanliness and sterilization of animal slaughter.
