In vitro digestion-based study of heavy metal accumulation and bioaccessibility in organs of different chicken breeds
Laila Battool, Muhammad Tariq Rafiq, Rukhsanda Aziz, Muhammad Arshad, Muhammad Zubair-ul-Hassan Arsalan, Nazia BibiHeavy metals present in chicken feed and organs accumulated mainly in liver and gizzard, with bioaccessible fractions indicating human absorption. HI exceeded 1, indicating potential non-carcinogenic risks, with higher carcinogenic risk in broilers.
