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

Project


Project code: 281C104G18
Contract period: 15.11.2020 - 14.11.2023
Budget: 106,554 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: poultry, meat, hygiene, microorganisms, pigs, articles of daily use , food quality, zoonosis, slaughter, food processing

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.
