Organoleptic Data Collection Procedures for Young Chickens

In-Plant Correlation

Send Completed Forms to RTI for Analysis

RTI Veterinarians Conduct Organoleptic Data Collection

Ante-mortem

Conduct interview once a day for 5 weeks

Passed

Examine 80 carcasses a day for 5 weeks (2,000 carcasses per plant)

Select carcasses after the final wash but before the chiller

Condemned

Examine up to 10 carcasses from condemned barrel 8 times a day for 5 weeks (~2,000 carcasses per plant)

Test Results Sent to RTI

RTI Technicians Collect Samples at Plant
        - Single whole-bird rinse to collect samples for both generic E-coli and Salmonella
        - 6 week data collection period
        - Collect samples after carcass chilling
        - 600 analyses per plant
        - Salmonella (300)
        - Generic E-coli (300)

Baseline Results for Salmonella

Note:	Detection limit = 1 colony forming unit (cfu)/30 milliliters (ml).
