Abstract | ||||
Aflatoxins are a group of toxins mostly produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, two molds that thrive in warm, humid climates on different crops which are used in the manufacture of chicken rations. People can be exposed to aflatoxins which have carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, immunosuppressive, and other adverse effects by consuming chicken livers from poultry that ate Aflatoxin-contaminated feed. The result revealed that the mean residual values of 100 liver samples; home chicken broiler livers (n=50) were 27.61± 6.60 (µg/kg) for AFB1; 0.92± 0.35 (µg/kg) AFB2; 0.10± 0.05 for AFG1 and 44.30 ± 14.50 (µg/kg) for AFG2. While in industrial chicken liver samples (n=50) were5.44 ± 0.87 (µg/kg) for B1; 0.61 ± 0.14 (µg/kg) for AFB2 and 7.10±1.10 (µg/kg) for AFG2. The prevalence of the mean ±SE of the total AFLs/ µg/kg residues in home and industrial rearing chicken broiler liver samples were 72.47± 0.12 µg/kg and 12.54 µg/kg and 12.78 ± 0.008 µg/kg respectively. The detected total aflatoxins were exceed the MLs (15-20ppb) in home-rearing chicken liver samples while lying within the limits in industrial-rearing liver samples. Monitoring of aflatoxin residues must be implemented and control programs in all broiler meat products. | ||||
