Adobe Acrobat XI Pro was used to OCR the text and also for the merging and conversion to the final presentation PDF-format.The pH value and the moisture, fat and protein content of abattoir by products which are commercially available in the Republic of South Africa were examined, and the total bacterial count and the extent of Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Bacillus, yeast and fungus contamination were determined. The extremes and reasonably attainable quality standards were deduced from the highest frequency and mean values of these figures. The total bacterial count was not statistically predictable from variables such as pH, moisture, protein and fat, but was found to be related to the combined effect of all 4 independent variables.en©1980 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©2016 University of Pretoria Department of Library Services (digital).Veterinary medicineVeterinary medicine -- South AfricaArticle
