| Abstract | ||
| Incidence of bacterial and fungal contaminants in imported chicken femurs was determined and compared with standard microbiological limits. A total of (12) Kg of imported chicken femurs were randomly collected at two batches from (6) areas in Baghdad city. Total aerobic bacterial count, coli form count and Staphylococcus aureus count were used as an indicator for bacterial contamination, in addition to yeast and mould count as an indicator for fungal contamination. Data revealed that skins of imported chicken femurs produced high level of contamination, in which most of the bacterial counts were near the maximum standard limit as well as contamination with fungi, whereas the level of contamination in the meat of these femurs were low in comparison with standard limits. | ||
