Propuesta de buenas prácticas de manufactura en el faenamiento de ovinos del camal de Riobamba.

Abstract

This research aimed to develop a manual of good manufacturing practices (GMP) for the slaughtering of sheep in the municipal slaughterhouse of Riobamba to ensure the qual it of the meat slaughtered there. The current hygienic-sanitary status was diagnosed using a checklist based on the requirements of Resolution ARCS A-067 of 2015 as a starting point to develop the proposed objectives. The results of the initial evaluation of the good manufacturing practice requirements recorded a low compliance percentage of 45.69% due to the drawbacks presented by the process, materials. environment. and operating personnel sections. The percentage of noncompliance was 54.31%. The quality of the sheep meat was evaluated by means of a microbiological analysis of Escherichia coli. Salmonella spp, and Staphylococcus Aureus. showing that there was microbial contamination in the sheep meat. It is concluded that the good manufacturing practices manual should be applied to improve production processes and avoid the excessive presence of pathogens. "fecal coliforms." It is recommended that standardized operational sanitation programs be applied to improve hygienic conditions and thus obtain a safe product suitable for human consumption.
