III. RES ULTS AND DISCUSSION:
High microbial load and different species of
pathogenic bacteria were obtained from samples
investigated. A total of 30 Whole carcass samples
revealed APC more than 10 5 (Table 1)on the
other hand all cut samples (40) had showed more
than 10 9 .The thigh samples had the highest
contamination rate 9.8 ×10 11 cfu/cm2 while the
least level of contamination 1.1×10 2 was detected
in whole carcass sample (Table 2).
