This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Salmonella on poultry carcasses produced in slaughterhouses of Southern Brazil participating of the Official Pathogen Reduction Program conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply.
From 2006 to 2015, 77,165 poultry carcasses were analyzed for presence/absence of Salmonella spp. and the results were statistically evaluated.
Prevalence varied from 2.92% to 5.24%, with a mean percentage of 4.04%. The difference in prevalence numbers was not significant during all the period analyzed. Higher Salmonella prevalence has been reported worldwide, indicating the efficacy of Brazilian control measures implemented in the productive chain and the low risk associated to Brazilian poultry meat consumption. However, additional information about the acceptable and safe prevalence of Salmonella on poultry should be defined by risk analysis studies, considering the reality of Brazilian companies and scientific data.
The results of the present study can be the first step for a national Risk Assessment and may contribute to improvements in self-controlling programs and with the current Brazilian poultry regulation.
本研究旨在评估参与由农业、畜牧业和供应部实施的官方病原体减少计划的巴西南部屠宰场生产的家禽胴体上沙门氏菌的流行情况。
2006年至2015年期间，对77,165份家禽胴体进行了沙门氏菌属的有无分析，并对结果进行了统计评估。
流行率从2.92%到5.24%不等，平均百分比为4.04%。在分析的整个期间，流行率数字的差异不显著。全球范围内报告的沙门氏菌流行率更高，这表明在生产链中实施的巴西控制措施的有效性以及与巴西禽肉消费相关的低风险。然而，考虑到巴西公司的实际情况和科学数据，应通过风险分析研究来确定关于家禽上沙门氏菌可接受和安全流行率的更多信息。
本研究结果可以作为国家风险评估的第一步，并可能有助于改进自控计划以及现行的巴西家禽法规。
