Abstract

Introduction of the HACCP system and its effects on the up-grading of production quality and achievement of high health safety of products have been investigated in the intensive breeding of wild game birds during two production cycles (2005/06). The concept of hazard analysis, presented by the HACCP system, makes possible timely reaction to all known critical control points (CCP), for the purpose of gradual introduction of systemic approach to identification, evaluation and control of certain hazards in individual production phases. According to the performed hazard analyses, the principal emphasis of HACCP in intensive breeding of game birds was put on results of laboratory tests, microbiological safety respectively, in all the phases of breeding process. Special attention was paid to bacteria of the genus Salmonella, since they represent the highest risk for contamination of raw material, equipment and final products, and consequently, for human health. The HACCP standards cover all the required prophylactic measures (immune protection of breeding stock and chickens), as well as the introduction of principles of hygienic quality and health protection according to standard sanitary operating procedure (SSOP). The implementation of HACCP in intensive breeding of game birds has also enabled an additional control of production facilities and of all age categories of birds housed there. The obtained results have confirmed the efficiency of introduction of the system of critical control points in the intensive production of game birds.
