Assessment of slaughtering status in Nam Dinh province showed that the province had 2060 slaughter sites and 3 industrial slaughterhouses. Slaughtering conditions of all slaughter sites did not meet criteria of the control acts including consciousness and practices of people involved in slaughter process as well as veterinary inspection. Total aerobic microbial count and E.coli count indicated that water for slaughter process was heavily contaminated. Only 19.51 percent and 36.59 percent of water samples met the criteria for total aerobic microbial count and E.coli count, respectively. The ratio of pork meat samples that met the criteria was highest for Salmonella count (90.24 percent), foil wed by E. coli count (76.83 percent) and S. aureus count (68.29 percent). The industrial slaughterhouses had higher ratios of samples that meet the criteria of slaughter inspection. The study showed that control and assessment of slaughtering activity, consultance and education for people involved in slaughter process might be good measures for elimination of microbial contamination of meat during slaughter process that contributes to public health protection.
