Trazabilidad de las muestras de pollo en el laboratorio de microbiología de DISTRAVES.

Abstract

In this degree project document, we worked on the traceability of the chicken samples that enter the Distraves – Plant El Diamante microbiology laboratory (reception, coding, processing, obtaining results). Therefore, the samples were monitored according to the company's internal protocols. And so, an internal inventory was established to ensure that all samples are processed properly using laboratory materials (culture media and supplies). Likewise, obtaining and recording the percentages of the prevalence of monthly positive results (Salmonella ssp. and Escherichia coli) from the month of August to the month of November 2022. Also, this methodology was applied in the two areas, the food area and the avian diagnosis area; that make up the Distraves microbiology laboratory. Finally, a control format (FCT 001) was made where the traceability and number of samples entered monthly to the two areas of the microbiology laboratory are shown. As a result, these traceability controls seek to guarantee efficiency in the microbiology laboratory, which is governed by NTC-ISO 17025 of 2017.
