Abstract
⺠Microbiological contamination of sheep carcases in Finland was studied. ⺠Sampling by excision gives higher bacterial counts than sampling by swabbing. ⺠No Salmonella spp. was recovered on the carcases sampled. ⺠Swabbing with gauze can be used as an alternative sampling method to excision. ⺠E. coli can be used as alternative indicator bacterium for process hygiene by swabbing.
