Abstract:
A Study was conducted about the quality of feed which is provided in the organized sector of pig farms in Jaipur & Alwar district of Rajasthan. In the study we have collected feed samples from these organized farm in a sealed containers and we have checked the bacterial load in these samples by using nutrient agar media. In the study we have found out that Total plate count (TPC) of bacteria ranged from 1.02 ×10⁷ to 1.45 ×10⁷cfu/gm in the farm pig feed samples that were analyzed, with an average mean and standard error of 1.18 10⁷± 0.12 being detected. Food waste can promote the growth of numerous dangerous germs, including Clostridium botulinum and Staphylococcus aureus, if it is not handled before ingestion. These bacteria multiply within a food, producing poisons that, when consumed, result in intoxication. Other agents, such as Bacillus cereus, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Yersinia enterocolitica, have been discovered to cause food-borne illness. Cooking or steam treatment is the sole procedure that is widely used outside to lower the microbial load.
