Keberadaan Salmonella spp. dalam Pakan Anjing Peliharaan yang Diolah dengan Sterilisasi Komersial dan Tanpa Pengolahan

Abstract

Pemberian pakan untuk hewanpeliharaan dengan bahan dasar daging mentah tanpa pengolahan termal membawa risiko kesehatan akibat keberadaan Salmonella spp. sebagai bakteri patogen. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksploratif yang bertujuan mengetahui keamanan pakan anjing peliharaan berdasarkan keberadaan Salmonella spp. dalam raw pet food dan wet pet food yang dibeli secara online. Sampel berasal dari 3 merk raw pet food dengan 5 kali ulangan dan 1 merk wet pet food dengan 6 kali ulangan, yang masing-masing berbahan dasar daging ayam dan daging sapi. Metode identifikasi keberadaan Salmonella spp. didasarkan pada pertumbuhan Salmonella spp. dalam media selektif dengan tahapan pra-pengayaan (pre-enrichment) dan pengayaan (enrichment) mengacu pada SNI 2897:2008. Standar keberadaan Salmonella spp. dalam pakan hewan peliharaan berdasarkan Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 concerning health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption adalah negatif/25 g. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebanyak 11 dari 15 raw petfood daging ayam dan 5 dari 15 raw petfood daging sapi positif mengandung Salmonella spp. Jenis daging bahan dasar raw pet food memengaruhi frekuensi keberadaan Salmonella spp. di dalamnya. Salmonella spp. tidak ditemukan dalam wet pet food yang diolah dengan proses sterilisasi komersial. Keberadaan Salmonella spp. dalam raw pet food berdampak pada risiko kesehatan hewan secara langsung dan pemilik hewan secara tidak langsung, khususnya salmonellosis.

Pet feeding with raw pet food without thermal processing has the dangerous potential to carry a health risk due to the presence of Salmonella spp. as pathogenic bacteria. This research was aimed to determine pet feed safety of the Salmonella spp.’s presence in raw pet food and wet pet food purchased online. Samples were taken from chicken- and beef-based sources of 3 brands of raw pet food with 5 replications and 1 brand of wet pet food with 6 replications. Methods to identify the presence of Salmonella spp. based on the Salmonella spp.’s growth in selective media with pre-enrichment and enrichment stages referring to SNI 2897:2008. The standard for Salmonella spp.’s presence in pet food based on Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 concerning health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption is absence/25 g. The results showed 11 of 15 chicken-based raw pet food and 5 of 15 beef-based raw pet food were positive for Salmonella spp. The basic ingredients of raw pet food affected the frequency of Salmonella spp.’s presence in raw pet food. Salmonella spp. was not found in wet pet food that was processed by commercial sterilization. The presence of Salmonella spp. in raw dog food affected the health risk of animals directly and owners indirectly, especially salmonellosis.
