Assessment of Heavy Metals in Some Organs of Local Chickens Sold At Central Market of Wudil Metropolis

Abstract

A study was conducted to determine heavy metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Cr and Pb) in some organs (Bones, Claws, Feather, Gizzard, Intestine, Kidney, Liver, Muscle and Skin) of local chickens. Sampling was carried out in two local chickens sold at central market of Wudil over a period of three month (December, 2014 – March, 2015). Heavy metals were determined by standard method of atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The concentration of the above heavy metals in the studied samples were found to be insignificant, they are generally low and within tolerance limit set by WHO, CODEX and other international bodies
