The pet food market has gained prominence because it is a sector that has been showing a high growth due to the great acquisition of dogs and cats by the population which, consequently, generates greater commercialization of feed. The objective of this work was to evaluate commercial feed for dogs and cats in closed and bulk packs in relation to bacterial and fungal contamination and verify their moisture content. The feed samples were obtained commercially from the city of Dois Vizinhos, PR, and analyzes were carried out at the UTFPR Microbiology Laboratory, Câmpus Dois Vizinhos. The results were compared with Ministerial Order No. 100, March 2002, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply. Among the 16 samples from lots 1 and 2 analyzed for moisture content, all were within the standards established by the legislation. Microbiological analyzes involved the total counts of mesophilic aerobes, molds, yeasts and were analyzed according to the methods proposed by the legislation. Among the 16 feed samples analyzed, the presence of molds and yeast without a dog food mark sold in bulk, mesophilic aerobic bacteria in a dog food and one for cats, sold in packs, were verified; And two brands of dog food and one for cat, sold in bulk. Therefore, the results obtained in this work show that the highest incidence of microbial contamination occurred in the brands sold in bulk, which may indicate the form of storage and commercialization of the rations influences the degree of bacterial and fungal contamination. |
