Such practice
transfer of contamination from the exterior has been shown to improve the microbial
of the animals onto the carcass or the plant quality of cattle carcasses by reducing aerobic
environment (Sofos 2002). Furthermore, plate count (APC) levels and the prevalence
modifications in the steps involved in hide of E. coli O157:H7 from 56% to 34%
removal, or in equipment used for hide (Bosilevac et al. 2004b). However, physical
removal, may help in minimizing transfer of separation of the processing of highly con-
contamination onto the carcass surface taminated from that of clean animals may be
(Hadley et al. 1997). Considering the above impractical in some systems of animal pro-
as well as the reported low magnitude of duction, marketing, distribution, and slaugh-
microbial reduction achieved by this inter- tering (Gill 1998).
