Abstract
The article presents the results of veterinary and sanitary examination and evaluation of safety indicators of roe deer slaughter products (carcass and internal organs) obtained during hunting in the Chelyabinsk and Kurgan regions Ural region of the Russian Federation. According to organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters, the carcasses were recognized as fresh and obtained from healthy animals. The hydrogen acidity index (pH) was 5,7–5,9. The degree of exsanguination corresponded to the requirements for carcasses of wild commercial animals. The defeat of helminths was not registered. As a result of microbiological examination, bacteria of the genus Proteus were isolated in 12,5 % of samples (intercostal muscles), bacteria of the E. coli group (Escherichia coli) were isolated in 25 % of samples («soup set» and kidneys), bacteria of the Bacillus subtilis group were isolated in 12,5 % of samples (heart). According to the specific activity of caesium-137, all samples met the safety requirements. However, the content of strontium-137 exceeded the recommended level (according to CODEX STAN 90-90 (193)) by 1995 (in muscles) to 1 times (in kidneys).
