Summary

EXPERIMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF A RADIATION DOSE OF 2.5 KGY (250 KRAD) ON THE ENTEROBACTERIACEAE AND SALMONELLAE CONTAMINATION OF BROILER CARCASSES WHEN APPLIED AT 278 AND 255 K (5 AND -18 DEG C). AFTER THE TREATMENTS THE CARCASSES WERE STORED FOR 4 MONTHS AT 255 K. THE STORAGE PERIOD PROVED TO HAVE A CONSIDERABLY LETHAL EFFECT ON ENTEROBACTERIACEAE AND SALMONELLAE. SALMONELLAE COULD BE DETECTED IN THE STARTING SAMPLES MATERIAL AS WELL AS IN THE CARCASSES AFTER 1 MONTH OF STORAGE AT 255 K. AFTER A 1 MONTH STORAGE PERIOD NO SALMONELLA WAS FOUND IN ONE OF THE TWO GROUPS OF LOW TEMPERATURE AND RADIATION-TREATED CARCASSES.
