Abstract:
This study was carried out to determine the level of
contamination (Total bacterial count and the contaminants
(Salmonella and E. coli) in some animal products (meat,
milk and egg), that sold in four public markets in Khartoum
state (Jackson, Mayo, Alftahab and Souk Seta). The
assessment of total bacterial count and the contaminants
(Salmonella and E. coli) of animal product samples was
done in the microbiological laboratory (Kuku complex)
Sudan University Science and Technology. The result of
bacterial contamination revealed no significance difference
between meat, milk and egg samples of different markets,
hence Souk Seta meat samples reported highest bacterial
count ((5.33±3.06 CFU/g)×106), whereas in milk samples
Alftahab market recorded the highest bacterial count
((6.00±2.00 CFU/g)×106), similarly, Mayo market reported
highest total bacterial count in egg, ((5.00±1.00
CFU/g)×106). The bacterial contaminants results showed
the presence of Salmonella and /or E. coli in meat, milk and
eggs samples in the four public markets in Khartoum state
