Bacteriologic examination of 69 meat samples (60- from adult horses and 9- from foals) from slaughter areas in the Republic of Belarus was realized. Microbiological indices of cooled meat of foals taking into consideration the infestation level were presented. Research results showed that in the impression smears of intact foals there were revealed single bacilliform and coccoid bacteria (1 x 10E-3 CFU/g). Bacteria of intestinal bacterium (0,1 g) and salmonella were not revealed. In the impression smears of weakly infested foals there were stated single rodlike and coccoid bacteria and total number of microorganisms was 1 x 10E-5 CFU/g. In the impression smears of intensively infested foals there were revealed plenty of gram-positive single rodlike and coccoid bacteria and total number of microorganisms was 1 x 10E-6 CFU/g that did not correspond the maximum permissible level (1 x 10E-4 CFU/g). It was shown that meat of intact and weakly infested foals had general microbial invasion within the standard limits and did not causative agents of alimentary toxicosis. Meat of adult intact and weakly infested horses had general microbial invasion within the standard limits and did not contain opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria. In meat of intensively infested horses the index of microbial invasion exceeded the standard requirement and was 1 x 10E-6 CFU/g and could be recommended only for the industrial processing
