Résumé

The experimental was designed to investigate the fungal load of floss prepared from broiler chickens fed different density energy levels. The experiment was laid in a 3x4 factorial arrangement of a Completely Randomized Design. The factors were 3 dietary energy levels; 2400 (A), 2600(B) and 2800 ME Kcal/Kg (C) and 4 packaging materials; high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), aluminum foil (AF) and plastic container (PC). Significantly different means were separated using LSD at 5% level of probability. The results showed that treatments B (5.542 X 104 cfu/g) and C (5.550X 104 cfu/g) had the lowest fungal count and were statistically similar (p>0.05).Fungal load from floss packaged in AF had the lowest load (5.133 X 104 cfu/g). It was recommended that chicken meat floss should be produced from poultry broilers fed diets containing 2600 and/or2800 ME Kcal/Kg and packaged in AF to minimized fungal contamination.
