| dc.description.abstract | Goat farming is one of the important components of the livestock industry in Bangladesh.
Farmers rear goats mostly as a subordinate occupation to supplement their livelihood.
Goat farming is not only a commercial enterprise but also a mode of life which
contributes substantially in farmer’s income as well as in national economy. This study
was carried out to investigate the bacteriological quality of raw meat of goat selling in
different markets at sadar Upazila in dinajpur, Bangladesh. A total of 30 meat samples
were collected from Dinajpur district of Bangladesh and tested for the presence of
microorganisms following conventional microbiological process. Samples were
inoculated into various selective media such as manital salt (MS) agar, Eosine Methylene
Blue (EMB) agar, Nutrient agar, Mac conkey agar, Salmonella- Shigella (SS) agar,
Staphylococcus agar no. 110. Identification of Bacteria were performed by
morphological, cultural and biochemical test. The total viable count (TVC) in meat
samples of Bahadur bazar was 4.8 CFU/g, 4.6 CFU/g and 3.9 CFU/g,
in 10-3
, 10-7
and 10-10 dilution respectively and Borobondor bazar was 3.6 CFU/g,
3.2 CFU/g and 3.02 CFU/g in 10-3
, 10-7
and 10-10 dilution respectively.
The isolated staphylococcus spp. was sensitive to Chloramphenicol (C), Ciprofloxacin
(CIP) and Kanamycm (K), Salmonella spp. was sensitive to Azithromycin (AZM),
Vancomycin (VA) and Teicoplanin (TE) and Pseudomonas spp. was sensitive to
Chloramphenicol (C), Ciprofloxacin (CIP). The identified isolates were characterized by
using molecular technique like PCR, DNA sequencing and phylogenetic Analysis. This
study reveals that raw meat samples in Bahadur bazar are contaminated beyond the
acceptable limits. This may be due to the unhygienic practices of butchers consumers
were not concious. Suggestion has been given to improve the knowledge on hygienic
among the meat producers to reduce microbial load. | en_US |
