The methods comprise (I) contacting exterior surfaces of the live animal at least once when the animal is en route to being slaughtered but before it is killed by exsanguination, with a microbiocidal solution, or (II) contacting a carcass of the animal, after exsanguination, with a microbiocidal solution, or (III) contacting at least one raw meat product and/or at least one processed meat product derived from the carcass at least once with a microbiocidal solution, or (IV) conducting any two or all three of (I), (II), and (III). In each case the microbiocidal solution is, independently, comprised of: (a) water having a bromine residual derived from (i) at least one bromine source, (ii) at least one alkali metal base, and/or at least one alkaline earth metal base, and (iii) at least one halogen stabilizer; or (b) water having a bromine residual derived from (i) ammonium bromide, and/or at least one alkali metal bromide, and/or at least one alkaline earth metal bromide, and (ii) at least one alkali metal hypohalite and/or at least one alkaline earth metal hypohalite; or (c) water having a bromine residual derived from a mixture or combination of any one or more of (a) and any one or more of (b); the bromine residual in each of (a), (b), and (c) being sufficient to provide microbiocidal activity. | 03-26-2009 |
20090110768 | Microbiocidal Control in the Processing of Meat-Producing Four-Legged Animals - Methods of processing four-legged slaughter animals for consumption as meat and/or meat product(s) are described.

The contacting can be done one or more times in each of I), II), and III). Considerable advantages, which are described, are realized when using such methods. | 04-30-2009 |
20110027437 | MICROBILOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL IN POULTRY PROCESSING - Poultry carcasses are contacted with water treated with one or more specified dihalodialkylhydantoin biocides in a processing operation downstream from a scalding tank. The aqueous effluent from that downstream operation or from any location further downstream is recycled to the scalding tank. Surprisingly, the bromine residues from the dihalodialkylhydantoin biocides are much more thermally unstable than, for example, the commonly used microbiocide, sodium hypochlorite. Thus, the effluent from the scalding tank has its active bromine content significantly reduced before it is sent to a water purification facility wherein microbial action is used to reduce the BOD of the waste water before its release to the environment. Thus, injury to this desired microbial action is reduced. In addition, the recycle reduces water consumption in the overall poultry processing operation. | 02-03-2011 |
20110136882 | MICROBIOCIDAL CONTROL IN THE PROCESSING OF MEAT-PRODUCING FOUR-LEGGED ANIMALS - Methods of processing four-legged slaughter animals for consumption as meat and/or meat product(s) are described. The methods comprise I) contacting exterior surfaces of the live animal at least once with a microbiocidal solution formed from mixing together at least (i) water and (ii) at least one N,N′-bromochloro-5,5-dialkylhydantoin, such contacting occurring at least once when the animal is en route to being slaughtered but before it is killed by exsanguination; or II) contacting the carcass of the animal, after exsanguination, with a microbiocidal solution formed from mixing together at least (i) water and (ii) at least one N,N′-bromochloro-5,5-dialkylhydantoin or III) contacting at least one raw meat product and/or at least one processed meat product derived from the carcass. The contacting can be done one or more times in each of I), II), and III). Considerable advantages, which are described, are realized when using such methods. | 06-09-2011 |
20110189338 | MICROBIOCIDAL CONTROL IN THE PROCESSING OF MEAT-PRODUCING FOUR-LEGGED ANIMALS - Methods of processing four-legged slaughter animals for consumption as meat and/or meat product(s) are described. The methods comprise I) contacting exterior surfaces of the live animal at least once with a microbiocidal solution formed from mixing together at least (i) water and (ii) at least one 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin, such contacting occurring at least once when the animal is en route to being slaughtered but before it is killed by exsanguination; or II) contacting the carcass of the animal, after exsanguination, with a microbiocidal solution formed from mixing together at least (i) water and (ii) at least one 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin or III) contacting at least one to raw meat product and/or at least one processed meat product derived from the carcass. | 08-04-2011 |
20120230871 | Microbiocidal Control in Drinking Line Systems - This invention provides a method of controlling microbes in a drinking line system when poultry and/or swine are absent from the area where the drinking line system is located.
