Collaborative project: Development and implementation of technological processes for the reduction of microbial contaminants in the poultry and pig slaughter process - subproject D (KontRed)

Project


Project code: 281C104D18
Contract period: 15.11.2020 - 14.11.2023
Budget: 274,852 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: food quality, poultry, hygiene, microorganisms, zoonosis, meat, food processing, pigs, articles of daily use , Schlachtung, slaughter

The overall objective is to reduce the microbiological burden of zoonotic agents on carcasses at the end of the slaughter line by implementing new technical procedures from a hygiene point of view. The safety of poultry meat and pork products is thereby improved and consumer confidence sustainably strengthened. The following goals are in the foreground: • Optimization of existing processes in the poultry / pig slaughter to reduce the incidence and transfer of zoonotic agents, • Development, implementation and validation of biological, chemical, physical and technical control and intervention measures for the reduction of zoonotic agents in the slaughter and processing line of poultry / pork, • Development of a validation model to test the efficiency of procedures and measures for the reduction of zoonotic agents in the slaughter and processing process of poultry / pork.
