We envisaged that this project would track batches of chicken as they progress through the different stages in the slaughterhouse and cutting plant. It is anticipated that sampling would be undertaken from chicken and it's components including caeca at key points in the slaughter and cutting process from whole incoming bird to finished whole or portioned chicken intended for onward distribution as well as environments and surfaces associated with these steps. We also expect there to be examination of samples (e.g. caeca and faecal contamination of cages) entering the slaughterhouse. It is important to consider the impact of successive flocks on subsequent contamination of chicken processed in the slaughterhouse and cutting plant so consideration should be given to inclusion of batches at the beginning and at the end of the day. We expect the final report to include a full analysis of the AMR findings in relation to the impact of processing of chicken carcases on AMR contamination to see if there are key areas that may require further investigation or intervention to reduce the spread of AMR bacteria. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/77bb4466-c489-43b0-b6e1-bf364cb302ff) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
