| Abstract | ||
| A study on a hundred samples of lamb meat and offal were done for a year. The bacterial microflora of lamb meat and offal from lamb 1-2 year old were isolated. The prevalence of microorganisms identified in this study was Staphylococci, Corynebacterium, Streptococci, Micrococcus, Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Yeast. The positive isolates were high in spring and early summer while the positive isolates were low in autumn and early winter. Staphylococci and Salmonella were predominant over all positive microorganisms. Lymph nodes and kidneys yielded more numbers of Salmonella and Staphylococci than meat, liver and spleen. Fifteen Salmonella typhimurium (28%) out of 53 as a total number of Salmonella serotypes were identified. Out of eight was the total number of Staphylococci six (40%) of them were coagulase positive. This study covers the distribution of indigenous microflora of meat, and offal. | ||
