چکیده مقاله:

The prevalence of Chromium (Cr) residue in liver and kidney samples of cattle was determined at cattle slaughter section of Sokoto Central abattoir Sokoto State Nigeria. A total of one hundredof each of the liver and kidney samples were collected and processed for the detection of Chromium using Atomic AbsorptionSpectrophotometer. All the samples (liver and kidney) were 100% positive for Chromium. The highest and lowest concentration ofChromium in liver and kidney were found to be among the age groups of ≥9 years and those at 0-2 years respectively. There was nosignificant difference (P>0.05) in the concentration of Chromium in liver and kidney samples of the different age groups of the slaughtered cattle. The concentration of Chromium in all the samplesare within the permissible level recommended by Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and World HealthOrganisation(WHO).It is therefore obvious that the liver and kidney of cattle slaughtered at Sokoto abattoir contain Chromium residue. Thisstudy was carried out to determine the level of Chromium residue in liver and kidneys of beef consumed from Sokoto Central abattoir Sokoto State, Nigeria.
