Survival of Salmonella in Dry Food and Feed.
TL;DR: The survival of salmonellae in a dry product cannot be predicted on the basis of the aw alone and it is concluded that S. montevideo was more resistant to the various dry environments than S. heidelberg.

pH and Tenderness of Broiler Breast Meat Deboned Various Times After Chilling
TL;DR: Breast meat deboned immediately after chilling had a significantly higher pH and required more force to shear than the other groups and there were no significant differences in pH or tenderness after a 4 hr postchilling time prior to deboning.

Sampling of Broiler Carcasses for Salmonella with Low Volume Water Rinse
TL;DR: It is found that 100 ml was adequate to recover Salmonella typhimurium, S. california, or S. montevideo from freshly processed broiler carcasses that had been inoculated with the organism at the rate of 50 cells/carcass.

Salmonella and Other Enterobacteriaceae Found in Commercial Poultry Feed
TL;DR: The presence of other Enterobacteriaceae suggests that commercial pelleting may not totally destroy Salmonella since their heat resistance is similar to the other organisms found.

Automated Microbiological Sampling of Broiler Carcasses
TL;DR: An automated and standardized multiunit bird rinser was designed, fabricated, and compared microbiologically with the standard manual rinsing procedure, finding no major differences in total plate counts and Enterobacteriaceae counts.
