Proporcionar aves y huevos de calidad a sus clientes requiere prevenir y gestionar los riesgos para la seguridad alimentaria desde la producción primaria hasta el producto final procesado. Puede confiar en la cartera de BioChek e Hygiena de herramientas de diagnóstico veterinario y pruebas de seguridad alimentaria fáciles de usar, rápidas y precisas: monitorización medioambiental (ATP), controles de referencia (ELISA) y estándares (PCR), software de monitorización único para analizar los resultados y ensayos PCR para identificar y cuantificar los patógenos en cada paso del proceso.
Why choose Hygiena® for poultry pathogen testing?
Hygiena helps poultry processors detect and better understand food safety risks across the processing line. The BAX® System and foodproof® assays deliver rapid, validated detection of Salmonella in poultry, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes and other pathogens, with specific detection of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and Salmonella Typhimurium (ST). BAX System HPS provides additional characterization of Salmonella populations associated with virulence markers following a positive result. From sanitation verification and environmental monitoring with UltraSnap®, MicroSnap® and InSite® tests, to pathogen detection and characterization, Hygiena brings the workflow together. KLEANZ® helps coordinate sanitation and environmental monitoring programs, while SureTrend® connects and visualizes testing data to identify trends, support corrective actions and drive better-informed decisions.
One partner. More information. Better-informed food safety decisions.
It has given us so much more insight into the levels of bacteria/organisms at each point of production in our facility.

Monitor process hygiene with microbial indicators
Knowing whether your process is working requires more than pathogen presence/absence testing. MicroSnap® provides rapid measurement of microbial indicators to help verify process hygiene and identify changes before they become bigger problems.
MicroSnap covers the indicator groups poultry teams use to assess process hygiene: total viable count, (also known as aerobic plate count), Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and E. coli. Tracking them across receiving, chilling and further processing shows how hygiene holds up between shifts and lines.
BAX System CampyQuant™ and ListeriaQuant™ extend quantification to Campylobacter and Listeria.
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) are among the serovars of greatest public health and regulatory relevance in poultry and eggs. The foodproof® Salmonella Enteritidis & Typhimurium Detection LyoKit® enables rapid, specific real-time PCR detection and differentiation of SE and ST following enrichment.
Used after or alongside Salmonella screening, it provides more actionable information than a Salmonella spp. result alone, supporting poultry processors in targeted investigations, surveillance and control programs.
Not all Salmonella pose the same risk to public health. Based on the HPS concept developed by the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), the BAX System Real-Time PCR Assay for Highly Pathogenic Salmonella (HPS) detects up to three virulence-associated genetic markers in poultry enrichment lysates after a positive BAX System Salmonella spp. screening result. Results are available in under 90 minutes on the BAX System Q7, and Hygiena has verified the assay with poultry carcass rinsates. This provides valuable information for research and ecological surveillance and supports a deeper understanding of Salmonella populations in poultry.

Why poultry processors trust Hygiena to strengthen food safety
Faster decisions
BAX System Salmonella results in approximately 60 minutes after enrichment.
Trusted, validated methods
BAX System Real-Time Salmonella holds AOAC Official Method of Analysis, AFNOR and Health Canada validation.
One PCR platform
The BAX System Q7 runs both BAX System and foodproof assays, so labs can standardize into a single workflow.
Connected data with SureTrend®
SureTrend data management platform turns testing data into actionable insight and helps teams move from results to corrective action across lines and sites.
Streamlined sanitation with KLEANZ®
KLEANZ sanitation management platform connects sanitation tasks, inspections, corrective actions and audits into a single digital workflow, strengthening accountability and traceability.
Food safety testing at every stage of poultry production
Salmonella and Campylobacter testing of boot swab samples and feed mycotoxin testing show flock status before birds enter the line.
Salmonella and Campylobacter testing tracks contamination through scalding, defeathering and evisceration, while UltraSnap® ATP and PRO-Clean® protein residue tests verify equipment cleaning.
Indicator and pathogen results taken before and after each intervention show whether it is working as intended. SureTrend tracks performance over time.
Rapid BAX System detection for Salmonella, Campylobacter and other pathogens, with MicroSnap indicator tests on cutting and grinding equipment, supports timely corrective and product-disposition decisions.
BAX System Listeria monocytogenes detection and InSite® Listeria spp. environmental monitoring tests help detect contamination sources in post-lethality areas before they affect finished product.
Frequently asked questions
What pathogens do poultry processors test for?
Salmonella and Campylobacter are the primary pathogens associated with raw poultry. Processors of ready-to-eat and further processed poultry also test for Listeria monocytogenes and monitor the environment for Listeria spp. Requirements are set by authorities including USDA FSIS, the European Union, Health Canada and Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
How fast are BAX System results for poultry?
BAX® System Real-Time Salmonella delivers results in approximately 60 minutes after enrichment. Real-time PCR Salmonella test kits run on the same BAX System Q7 instrument as the rest of the portfolio.
How do I monitor indicator organisms in a poultry plant?
MicroSnap rapid tests evaluate total viable count (aerobic plate count) and can identify Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms, and E. coli as indicators of hygiene quality issues, allowing teams to address issues within the same shift.
What is the Highly Pathogenic Salmonella (HPS) assay?
It is a research assay based on the USDA-ARS HPS concept. It detects up to three virulence-associated genetic markers after a positive BAX System Salmonella spp. screening result. It is for Research Use Only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures or in making food safety-release decisions.
How do I verify sanitation in a poultry plant?
UltraSnap ATP tests with the EnSURE® Touch luminometer confirm cleaning in seconds. PRO-Clean checks for protein residue, and MicroSnap indicator tests monitor hygiene over time. KLEANZ helps manage and document sanitation work, and SureTrend tracks results across the plant.
How can poultry processors use testing data to improve process control?
SureTrend brings pathogen, indicator, sanitation and environmental results together so processors can see trends by line, shift and sampling point, investigate recurring issues and verify corrective actions.
