The microbiological effects of trimming sticking wounds in pasteurized pig carcasses

C O Gill et al. Can Vet J. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

Neither pasteurizing of uneviscerated carcasses nor trimming reduced the numbers of total aerobic bacteria recovered from sticking wounds in pig carcasses. However, trimming after pasteurizing increased the numbers of coliforms and Escherichia coli recovered from sticking wounds, whereas pasteurizing without trimming reduced these counts.
