CONTROLE DA QUALIDADE MICROBIOLÓGICA EM FÁBRICA DE RAÇÕES PARA AVES

Abstract

Poultry farming has great economic and social importance in Brazil. This activity is increasingly evolving, seeking to produce quality meat and eggs, with nutrition being an important factor to be taken into consideration. Feed factories have the responsibility to deliver a quality product, providing productive efficiency to their consumers. To this end, factories must establish methods and routines that promote the quality of internal operations and products, from receiving the ingredients, evaluating the products received, until their dispatch, in order to guarantee safety to the end customer. One of the biggest problems in poultry feed factories is contamination by Samonella, which can be present throughout the entire production chain, from the production of food intended for animal feed, during the raising of animals on farms to the final slaughter process and distribution of the product to the consumer.
