dc.description.abstract | The research was conducted to observe the sanitation of the equipments and locations of the sacrificial animal’s slaughter, microbial impurities rates in meat, and relation between sanitation practices of equipments and slaughtering location to microbial impurities rates in meat. Respondens were taken from 46 slaughtering locations in DKI Jakarta. Chi-square test was used to know the relation between sanitation practices of equipments and slaughtering location to microbial impurities rates in meat. They were 65.2% (30/46) location of sacrificial animal slaughter in Jakarta that had good equipment sanitation, but only 41.3% (19/46) locations with good location sanitation. The number of meat samples with total number of total microorganism below the SNI border in 2011 was 94% (204/217), meanwhile in 2012 the number was 96.25% (231/240). The number of meat samples with total E. coli below the SNI border in year 2011 was 95.4% (207/217), meanwhile in 2012 the number was 97.92% (235/240). The result showed there was a significant correlation between handling animal after slaughtering with the presence of E. coli in meat (P value < 0.05). It was concluded that handling animal after slaughtering by hanging could decrease the contamination of E. coli. | en |
