Abstract :
The condition of the chicken slaughterhouse, clean water sources, and
unsupportive equipment can be a breeding ground for Salmonella sp bacteria.
Poor sanitation has the potential to cause Salmonella sp bacterial contamination
in chicken meat. The purpose of the study is to analyze the relationship of
environmental sanitation factors with Salmonella sp contamination in chicken
meat at the Perumnas Sako market in Palembang City. This type of research is
analytical descriptive with a Cross-Sectional study design. This study sample
amounted to 20 samples with a total sampling technique. Analysis of the data
using the Fisher exact test which showed that Salmonella sp contamination in
chicken meat at Perumnas Sako Market Palembang City amounted to 16 positive
and 4 negative samples of Salmonella sp. The results showed that all variables of
clean water facilities (P-value= 0,014; PR = 2; CI = 1-3,999), sewage systems
(P-value = 0,032; PR = 2,3; CI = 0,791-6,885), and equipment use (P-value=
0,013; PR = 3,75; CI = 0,684-20,570) related to Salmonella sp contamination.
The study concludes that Salmonella sp contamination is caused by poor
environmental sanitation, such as clean water facilities, sewage systems, and
equipment use. It is recommended that traders always change the water in every
process of processing chickens, dispose of the waste of slaughtered chickens
regularly, and wash equipment every time it will be used, and the Public Health
Officers in Palembang City need to conduct socialization related to market
environmental sanitation.
