To assess the botulism hazard in fur animal feed production, 236 fur animal feed components and feed samples were analysed for Clostridium botulinum by detecting BoNT-encoding genes (botA, botB, botC, botE or botF) by PCR and for sulphite-reducing clostridia (SRC) by iron sulphite agar. The quality of the hazard analysis of critical control points (HACCP) -based in-house control system (IHCS) was evaluated with respect to botulism risk in feed plants (n=32). The overall prevalence of C. botulinum was 13% in different feed components and 5% in feed. The estimated MPN count of C. botulinum in feed components was 6.4 × 10(3)/kg at the highest and was shown to poorly correlate with SRC count. The critical control points in IHCSs were variable, and control limits were improperly set in most feed-producing plants. C. botulinum possesses a persistent safety hazard for fur animals by feed production, and control practices should be reassessed.
为了评估毛皮动物饲料生产中的肉毒梭菌危害,通过 PCR 检测 BoNT 编码基因(botA、botB、botC、botE 或 botF)和亚硫酸铁琼脂检测亚硫酸盐还原梭菌(SRC),对 236 种毛皮动物饲料成分和饲料样品进行了分析。采用危害分析关键控制点(HACCP)的内部控制系统(IHCS),对饲料厂(n=32)的肉毒梭菌风险进行了评价。在不同的饲料成分和饲料中,C. botulinum 的总流行率分别为 13%和 5%。在饲料成分中,C. botulinum 的估计 MPN 计数最高可达 6.4×10(3)/kg,与 SRC 计数相关性较差。IHCS 中的关键控制点各不相同,而且大多数饲料生产厂的控制限值设置不当。C. botulinum 通过饲料生产对毛皮动物存在持续的安全危害,应重新评估控制措施。
