Vanitha, P.Venukopalan, K.Sivachandran, M,TANUVAS2018-05-102018-05-102015-06http://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810045217A survey was undertaken for screening the organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) residue in eggs and meat samples collected from Namakkal (Tamil Nadu). Samples were analyzed by thin layer chromatography and confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Total endosulfan in egg (33.33 %) and broiler meat (50%) were exceeded the MRL of Codex alimentarius. Desi chicken adipose tissue had high incidence (58.33 %) of endosulfan (28.57 i 2.85 ppb), but below the permissible MRL. DDT was detected below MRL in meat. Collectively, it suggested that the presence of OCPs residues, though at low level, still continues to be a threat for poultry products.en-USVeterinary SciencePoultry ScienceArticle
