Further, chicken meat wider acceptance translates to an increased demand. Thus, constant assessment to ensure the toxicological and safety profile of chicken meat has become imperative. The study locations of this study include ma- jor open markets located in the capital city (Benin City) of Edo State designated as market A, B, C, and D respectively. A total twenty-five samples were collected, distinctly sealed in a polyethtlene bags which was pre-treated and analysed following stan- dard protocols. All reagents used for analysis were of analytical grade. The result revealed that the chicken meat sample sourced from a local farm had a significantly p<0.05 higher level of the HDL-C (21.67±1.53) in comparison to the imported frozen.. Read More»
