6.02 Pre-skinning interventions for “blown pack” spoilage control - AgResearch (Broda)
Research Objectives:
1. To establish the efficacy of an anti-clostridial pre-slaughter belly wash on removal of spores of “blown pack”-causing clostridia from pelts.
2. To test whether a carcass opening lines-sealing technique using an anti-clostridial resin results in the reduced transfer of spores of “blown pack”-causing clostridia from pelts onto dressed carcasses.
3. To determine the influence of the proposed pre-skinning treatments on the onset of pack blowing using venison carcass model artificially inoculated with spores of “blown pack”-causing clostridia.
