Appreciation of microbiological quality of bovines carcasses freshly slaughtered.

The present study is interested in evaluation of the surface's microbiologi cal quality of Bovine's carcasses in the beginning of slaughterline, just a fter evisceration. The samples have been drawn on by excision method. These samples were taken from tree sites: the perished-anal, the necklace, and t he lumbar. The bacteriological evaluation concerns the total viable flora count, psych rotrophics, sporuleds, staphylococcus, total and faecal coliforms and salmo nellae search. The counting vary in function of carcasses sites and season. The neck prese nts the highest level of contamination, followed by the perished-anal site, while the lumbar area representing the inner site shows the lowest level ( for total viable flora count and staphylococcus), but for psychrotrophics t he highest level it's in the lumbar site, for sporuleds and coliforms the p eri-shedanal site is followed by the necklace.
