More than a decade ago, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sparked substantial modernisation effort in traditional meat safety systems Europe by publishing range of EFSA opinions that were followed, from 2014 to 2019, amendments relevant EU legislation. A novel, risk-based assurance system (RB-MSAS) was proposed address latest, most meat-borne hazards and protect human health as well animal welfare. This new framework thought offer advantages with regard combination longitudinal...
This study investigated the occurrence of 5 unregulated mycotoxins in a total 250 traditional dry-cured meat products sampled 2020 and 2021 five Croatian regions (eastern, northern, central, western, southern). Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), sterigmatocystin (STC), citrinin (CIT), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) concentrations were related to geographical region product’s origin local weather. The results revealed contamination 27% samples, namely, STC 4% samples up 3.93 µg/kg, OTA 10%...
Vibrio species are widely distributed and can be potentially pathogenic to aquatic organisms. In this study, we isolated spp. from environmental samples (seawater, sediment, fish swabs) collected over a three-year period farm in Mali Ston Bay the Adriatic Sea, Croatia, assess their distribution. A total of 48 seawater 12 sediment samples, as well gill skin swabs 110 farmed European seabass, were analysed for presence Vibrio. strains identified level by MALDI TOF MS. The analysis revealed...
Porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PED) is an emergent/re-emergent viral pig disease (caused by the virus belonging to Coronaviridae family, in specific Alphacoronavirus genus) of global importance. Clinical presentation characterized with acute diarrhoea, vomiting and dehydration pigs all ages, a possible high mortality suckling piglets. The emerged USA 2013 causing heavy losses, re-emerged Europe 2014, but milder consequences.In spring 2016, PED-like symptoms were reported be seen on agricultural...
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by the fungi of Aspergillus and Penicillium species. Data indicate frequent OTA contamination cereals cereal products, consequently also meat products. The aim this study was to determine possible level product consumers' exposure through consumption dry-cured fermented products available on Croatian market. showed weekly intake 90% male ham consumers be maximum 51.9 ng kg(-1) b.w., i.e., far below tolerable (TWI) 120 b.w. set out...
Proper training of official veterinarians (OVs) is fundamental to achieving their advanced role as risk managers within a risk-based meat safety assurance system (RB-MSAS) addressing the most relevant meat-borne public health hazards. The demography, opportunities and needs OVs in Europe remain largely unknown. objective this study was characterise terms demography employment identify continuing education via survey. An anonymous questionnaire with 32 questions designed, translated into 17...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate persistence Listeria monocytogenes in raw milk from vending machines, based on culture and molecular detection pathogen Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis typing. From December 2015 January 2017, a total 319 samples 36 machines were examined for presence count L. by reference methods ISO 11290:1 11290:2. Molecular pathogens performed loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) coupled with bioluminescence (Molecular Detection Assay). detected...
Chicken meat from intensive broiler production have different quality compared with native chicken breeds and a free range system. The aim of the present study was to evaluate differences in fatty acids content Naked Neck chickens rared system two commercial (Cobb 308 Hybro G+) reared conventional trial involved 100 per group. Fattening period lasted 42 days for 84 Breast had statistically more 16:0 Cobb (p?0.05), where thigh highest determined G+ breed. Differences composition breast...
The ban on use of antibiotic growth promoter for fattening chickens has created demand other weight and health promoting supplements. Phytogens, especially essential oils (EO) or their components, have attracted great interest. They are considered 'natural' leaving no unwanted tissue residue. aim this study was to evaluate the effect XTRACT (R) (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde capsicum oleoresin) natural zeolite clinoptilolite as feed additives in broiler chicken. Addition and/or had positive...
