Isolation of bacteria from bovine meat obtained from backyard slaughter in Kelantan

The objective of this study is to determine the degree of superficial bacterial contamination in superficial and deeper layers of raw bovine meat sold to customers at backyard meat stalls and open wet markets. A total of 150 meat samples were obtained from various meat stall and wet market in Kota B...

A total of 150 meat samples were obtained from various meat stall and wet market in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The meat surface were scrapped and cut to a deeper layer (2cm deep) to screen the bacteria.

The deeper layers of the meat showed less bacterial contamination especially in the next morning.
