Summary

Qualitative and quantitative bacteriological examinations were carried out prior to and after chilling (air and immersion) of slaughtered poultry (broilers). Gram-positive flora was dominant (Micrococcaceae, gram-positive irregular rods, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus). 10% of the total germ count were gram-negatives (Enterobacteriaceae, Flavobacterium, Alcaligenes). In the visceral cavity mostly Enterobacteriaceae, gram-positive irregular rods, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Micrococcaceae were found.
