Abstract

The present work aimed to identify the effects of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of poultry handlers on the prevalence of Campylobacter along the poultry production chain in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 1230 microbiological samples were collected from five companies in different Malaysian states. The sampling points involved the entire poultry supply chain from the farm to the retailer. The collected samples were subjected to bacteriological isolation and morphological identification for microbiological analyses. All Campylobacter-positive samples were further confirmed with molecular identification by using a polymerase chain reaction. Campylobacter prevalence in poultry farms, processing plants, and retailers were identified. For the KAP survey, 300 respondents answered a questionnaire evaluating their levels of KAP regarding food safety while handling live birds and subsequently poultry products after slaughtering. Overall, the mean KAP scores of the workers at farms, processing plants, and retail outlets were assessed. The survey data indicated that even though the overall KAP levels of the poultry workers were excellent, the bacterial prevalence of Campylobacter was still high. In conclusion, the KAP of poultry handlers had insignificant effects on the prevalence of Campylobacter along the poultry production chain in Peninsular Malaysia.
马来西亚半岛家禽生产链上家禽处理者的知识、态度和做法对弯曲杆菌流行的影响
目前的工作旨在确定家禽处理者的知识、态度和做法(KAP)对马来西亚半岛家禽生产链上弯曲杆菌流行的影响。从马来西亚不同州的五家公司共收集了1230份微生物样本。采样点涉及从农场到零售商的整个家禽供应链。对收集的样品进行细菌学分离和形态学鉴定,进行微生物学分析。所有弯曲杆菌阳性样品均通过聚合酶链反应进一步进行分子鉴定。弯曲杆菌在家禽养殖场、加工厂和零售商中流行。在KAP调查中,300名受访者回答了一份问卷,评估他们在处理活禽和屠宰后的家禽产品时对食品安全的KAP水平。总体而言,对农场、加工厂和零售店工人的平均KAP得分进行了评估。调查数据表明,尽管家禽工人的KAP总体水平很好,但弯曲杆菌的细菌患病率仍然很高。综上所述,家禽处理者的KAP对马来西亚半岛家禽生产链上弯曲杆菌的流行率影响不显著。
