‘Nam Dok Mai’ mango is a luxury commercial fruit in Thailand, but post-harvest diseases infecting the ripe fruit is a major problem affecting marketability. The objective of the present study was to map the supply chain of ‘Nam Dok Mai’ mangoes exported to Japan and analyze the critical points of post-harvest disease infection caused mainly by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Risk points of the post-harvest diseases were found by examining the material and information flows from processes ranging from field production to post-harvest handling, and these were obtained from mango growers and an exporter. The findings of interviews with mango growers and observations of the mangoes in field production were that the first point of risk was cultivar selection, while branch pruning and fruit bagging were further important processes causing post-harvest fruit decay. On the other hand, it was found that post-harvest handling was significant in decreasing anthracnose disease infection; this was seen at the step of dipping the fruit in 50 °C hot water for 3 min at the processing line.

Cleaning And Disinfection

Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from critical control points in a Danish turkey processing plant, from turkey products and from cases of human listeriosis. During processing in the plant the prevalence of L. monocytogenes ranged from 25·9 to 41·4%. Cleaning and disinfection decreased the prevalence to 6·4%. Isolates of L. monocytogenes were characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using restriction endonuclease ApaI. Identical DNA types were obtained from turkey products and the processing line even after cleaning and disinfection. Two identical DNA types were demonstrated among isolates from turkey products and human cases of listeriosis. The prevalence of L. monocytogenes in turkey products ranged from 7·3 to 17·4% for ready-to-eat products and raw products, respectively. Since none of the 27 flocks examined before slaughter sampled positive for L. monocytogenes and the prevalence increased during processing, the potential risk from turkey meat was apparently due to factory hygiene rather than intrinsic contamination of the turkeys.

Contamination Levels

The purpose of this study was to determine the numbers and species of enterococci encountered on pork carcasses during different stages in the slaughter process as well as on pork products. Three hog slaughtering plants were surveyed, each 3 times at four processing points. Each hog was swabbed at two sites on the carcass. Specimens were plated on two different enterococcal media, KF streptococcal agar and fluorescent gentamycin-thallous-carbonate agar. Retail and spoiled pork sausage products also were examined. Isolates were speciated by using the API Rapid Strep and Baxter MicroScan Pos ID panels. Contamination levels varied between plants as the carcasses progressed down the processing line; the highest counts were obtained directly before packaging in plants A and C. The highest count for plant B occurred at the first stage of sampling. More Enterococcus faecalis than Enterococcus faecium were isolated from the pork carcasses. Pork sausage results also are presented. Enterococci are useful as an indicator of pork sanitation and to detect critical control points during processing. In some instances, high levels of enterococci are associated with spoilage of pork sausage.

SummaryIn this article an on-farm monitoring approach on udder health is presented. Monitoring of udder health consists of regular collection and analysis of data and of the regular evaluation of management practices. The ultimate goal is to manage critical control points in udder health management, such as hygiene, body condition, teat ends and treatments, in such a way that results (udder health parameters) are always optimal. Mastitis, however, is a multifactorial disease, and in real life it is not possible to fully prevent all mastitis problems. Therefore udder health data are also monitored with the goal to pick up deviations before they lead to (clinical) problems. By quantifying udder health data and management, a farm is approached as a business, with much attention for efficiency, thought over processes, clear agreements and goals, and including evaluation of processes and results. The whole approach starts with setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, Time-bound) goals, followed by an action plan to realize these goals.
