Abstract
This study evaluated the microbial assessment of frozen poultry meat sold in Ilaro environs. Four samples were analyzed and the total plate counts ranged from 32×104 cfu/g to 57×104 cfu/g, Coliform count ranged from 7×104cfu/g to 55×104 cfu/g, Staphylolcoccus count range from 4×104 cfu/g to 36×104 cfu/g, Salmonella counts ranged from 8×104cfu/g,to 46 ×104cfu/g and Fungi count ranged from 5×104 cfu/g to 15×104 cfu/g. Microorganism isolated were Staphylococcus spp, Salmonella spp, Bacillus spp, Pseudomonas spp, Escherichia. coli, Rhizopus and Saccharomyces spp. In all the four samples, there was low fungi count, high Staphylococcus in sample D but lesser number of coliform count in sample A. The statistical analysis shows significant difference (p>0.05) in the analysis. Sample A and C contains more microbes than B and D apart from Staphylococcus. The analysis shows that the counts exceeded recommended limits for all the pathogens. Poultry meat obtained from these cold rooms should therefore be properly cooked to eliminate these pathogens in order not to pose health risks to the consumers.
