Bacteriological evaluation of shellfish

Microbial investigation of 60 samples of Gandoufly collected randomly from different markets in Alexandria city was conducted to evaluate their sanitary status. The average counts/gm of Total bacterial, Total coliform and faecal coliform were 4.47x10[4], 5.67x10[3] and 1.29x10[3]; respectively. E. coliy Salmonella, Staph. aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus could be isolated in varying percentages, but shigella failed to be isolated. The public health importance of the isolated microorganisms as well as suggested hygienic measures to improve the quality of such product were discussed

Effect of profenofos feeding on biochemical changes in chicken

The disruption of transaminases and phosphatases from the normal values denotes biochemical impairment and lesions and cellular function because involved in the detoxification metabolism and biosynthesis of macromolecules for different function. The results of the present study revealed that feeding chicken in profenofos contaminated feed at levels of 50, 100 and 200 ppm for three weeks, resulted in a significant of tissue they are energetic essential increase in the values of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [GOT], glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [GOT], Alkaline phosphatase [A.P.] and cholesterol, especially at levels of 100 and 200 ppm. Upon return of normal feed free from profenofos for 10 days, these values decreased gradually but not to normal and the decreases were not significant
