Deskripsi
The effectiveness of sanitizers in controlling the bacterial load of pig carcass is studied. The effect of organic acids, viz., acetic and lactic acid, potassium sorbate in combination with lactic acid and chlorine in the decontamination of the carcasses at different concentrations revealed that all the sanitizers could reduce the bacteria! load of the carcasses. However lactic acid at 2%level was the most effective in reducing the total viable count, coliform, Escherichia coli, enterococcal and sulfite reducing clostridium count of the carcasses.
