Abstract

Abattoir wastes can have a detrimental effect on the environment, public health, animal health, and economy of a country if they are not effectively managed and controlled. The bacteriological evaluation of waste water from Kwata abattoir was carried out to determine the bacterial load present and if the waste water generated is suitable for direct discharge into the environment. A total of two samples were aseptically collected, in which the physicochemical analysis of the waste water showed objectionable color and odor, pH of 7.3 and 6.5, and temperature of 30.2°C and 25.3°C for samples A and B, respectively, of which the pH and temperature were within acceptable limits by WHO. The membrane filter method was used to determine the total coliform and thermotolerant coliform counts present per 100 mL of the samples using MacConkey agar and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, respectively. The total viable count was obtained for both samples: 5.1×105 CFU/mL for sample A and 1.4×106 CFU/mL for sample B. Phenotypic and biochemical tests were carried out for four isolates, which include Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Bacillus spp., and Bacillus cereus. Thus, it can be concluded from the above study that untreated abattoir waste water contains a high level of pollutants, which supports the growth of the microbial population, as evidenced in the microbial study. Therefore, waste water has to be treated before discharge into the environment to protect public health and promote the safety of the environment.
尼日利亚奥卡kwata屠宰场废水的细菌学评价
屠宰场废物如果得不到有效管理和控制,可能对一个国家的环境、公共卫生、动物健康和经济产生不利影响。对来自Kwata屠宰场的废水进行了细菌学评估,以确定存在的细菌负荷以及所产生的废水是否适合直接排放到环境中。共采集了两份样品,经无菌处理后的废水理化分析显示,A和B样品的颜色和气味不佳,pH值分别为7.3和6.5,温度分别为30.2°C和25.3°C, pH和温度均在WHO可接受的范围内。采用膜过滤法分别用MacConkey琼脂和Eosin亚甲基蓝琼脂测定每100 mL样品中大肠菌群总数和耐热大肠菌群计数。两种样品的总活菌数分别为:样品A为5.1×105 CFU/mL,样品b为1.4×106 CFU/mL。对大肠杆菌、沙门氏菌、芽孢杆菌和蜡样芽孢杆菌进行表型和生化检测。因此,从上述研究中可以得出,未经处理的屠宰场废水中含有高浓度的污染物,这支持了微生物种群的生长,这在微生物研究中得到了证明。因此,废水必须在排放到环境中之前进行处理,以保护公众健康,促进环境安全。
