Abstract
A mathematical model of chicken processing that quantitatively describes the transmission
of Campylobacter on chicken carcasses from slaughter to chicken meat product has been developed
in Nauta et al. (2005). This model was quantified with expert judgment. Recent availability
of data allows updating parameters of the model to better describe processes observed
in slaughterhouses. We propose Bayesian updating as a suitable technique to update expert
judgment with microbiological data. Berrang and Dickens’s data are used to demonstrate
performance of this method in updating parameters of the chicken processing line model.
