Abstract

A total of one hundred and twenty five samples of muscle (Meat), hearts, gizzards, livers and kidneys of turkeys carcasses ( samples of each) were collected from Sharkia province, and examined mycologically and mycotoxicologically the mean value of mold count/g was 1.1x102, 3.4x102, 1.8x 104 , 3.6x102 and 7.9x102 , while for yeast count/g was 1.3x 102 ,3.0 x 102, 1.8 X103, 1.96x103 and 3.7x102 for muscles, hearts, gizzards, livers and kidneys, respectively. Aspergillus species mainly A.flavus, A.ochraceous and A.niger, Penicillium sp., Fusarium sp., Cladosporium sp. and Mucor species were identified while Candida species namely C. albicans, C.parpsilosis and C.tropicalis and Phodotorula species were the yeast isolates. Aflatoxina B1 residues were detected at mean levels of 19.9, 19.0, 9.47, 9.28 and 5.43 in gizzard, livers, muscles, kidneys and hearts, respectively. The public health hazards of moulds, yeasts and mycotoxins contamination as well as the suggestive measures to improve the quality of turkey carcasses were discussed.
