Abstract
This paper describes several microbiological sampling methods that may be used for determining the cleanliness of poultry processing plant e quipment, including surface swabbing, agar contact, hygiene contact sl ides, dry medium film, impedance, and ATP bioluminescence. Advantages and disadvantages associated with each method are mentioned. This arti cle will be helpful to anyone faced with the task of microbiologically monitoring poultry processing equipment after sanitation.
