Veterinary and sanitary assessment of cattle meat when using a silage feed additive in feeding

The article presents the results of organoleptic, physico-chemical and microscopic studies of the freshness of beef. The research was carried out on meat samples of experimental bulls that received corn silage in the diet, harvested with the use of bioconservants and without the addition of starter culture. It was found that all meat samples comply with the requirements of regulatory documents or the quality level at the entrance control of meat raw materials at enterprises, which confirms the absence of an adverse effect of a silage feed additive of microbiological origin on the quality of animal slaughter products.
