Abstract - Food-borne micro-organisms are the major threats to human health and it is very important to detect their presence on food items to reduce food-borne diseases. This research activity was initiated to assess microbial quality and quantity to the environmental condition of chicken. In this piece of work Poultry sample (n=100) were collected randomly from a supermarket, traditional shops, and village areas of Indore, Broilerchicken (n=50), and Desichicken (n=50). Skin swabbing and tissue carcasses collected in peptone water.Samples were incubated and cultured on media plates. Further, subculturing (on differential Media) and biochemical tests were done for confirmation of microbial species.
We found E. coli, Pseudomonasaureogenosa, S. Typhi, S. Aureus, Shigella, Clostridium prefringens, and Campylobacter are present in chicken. The highest load of microbial contamination wasobserved in broiler samples as compared to desi. This comparative study shows that broiler skin was highly contaminated by E. coli (3.7 X 105cfu/ml) and Salmonella (3.2 X 105cfu/ml) while in desi chicken highest load of E. coliwas found in skin sample (2.5 X 105cfu/ml) and a minimum of Campylobacterwas found in tissues (0.2 X 105cfu/ml). S. Aureus, Shigella, and Clostridium prefringens were only found in broiler samples. Statical analysis of broiler and desi skin sample shows that E. coli, Pseudomonasaureogenosa, S. Typhi, S. Aureus, Shigella, Clostridium prefringens, and Campylobacterreject our null hypothesis because P-value is less than the critical value (2.306). Were as tissue sample of desi and broiler data analysis of P-value shown E. coli, Pseudomonasaureogenosa, S. Typhi, and Campylobacterreject the null hypothesis. S.
Aureus, Shigella, and Clostridium prefringens were not isolated in a tissue sample.The present study concludes that presence of maximum micro-organism onbroiler which shows the poor hygienic environment.Broiler providesstrong habitat for food-borne micro-organism while desi is hostile for some micro-organism.
1 INTRODUCTION
India is one of the maingrowers of poultry meat in the world. The increase in population has led to a tremendous increase in poultry demand. In 2020, the consumption of poultry meat in India was found to be over 3.9 million metric tons1. So, contamination of food by micro- organism is a major health concern all over the world. The high rate of contamination of poultry with bacteria is responsible for health issues in human beings. Due to poor hygienic conditions, poultry is easily exposed to bacteria.
Desi spends a majority of their time in the great outdoors, running around and scratching the dirt for worms or insects, then supplementing their diet with household scraps.
Poultry are raised exclusively for their meat in shielded, with controlled temperature and feed. All these chickens get the same feed, zero physical activity, and the same exposure to the elements.
The broiler chickens spend their whole life in their farms with hundreds to thousands of chickens.
Bacteria thatare commonly found in poultry are salmonella2-6, E-coil7-8, Staphylococcusaureus9, clostridium perfringens10, campylobacter11, etc.The major reservoirs for human salmonella worldwideare broiler chicken, although many reports on contamination of chicken with salmonella have been published all over the world2. Today poultry chicken meat contributes substantially to the human diet because of its low cost and easy availability.
In this piece of work,a comparative study is performed on desi &broiler chickens to evaluate the presence of micro-organisms on them which shows their hygienic quality, resistance,and susceptibility to pathogens.
2 MATERIAL & METHOD 2.1 Study Area

Vol. 06, Issue 05, May 2021 IMPACT FACTOR: 7.98 (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL) 40 2.2 Sample Collection
A total of 400, skin swab and tissue samples were collected aseptically in peptone water tubes separately from different vendors of Indore. All samples were collected randomly from healthy chickens.
2.3 Isolation & Identification of Microorganism
Isolation & identification of microorganism was done according to the standard guideline of Prescott. After collection, the samples were homogenizedand pre-enriched by adding 10ml of buffered peptone water (HI media)
and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10min.The supernatant was taken in fresh sterile tubes incubated at 37℃ c for 18-20 hours. Fromthe incubated sample, a loop full culture was streaked on nutrient agar, MacConkey agar, Blood agar, Milk agar, EMB agar (HI media) &
incubated at 37 for hours. Then plates were examined for colony identification.
After colony identification, samples were again streaked on selective media (tables) for confirmation of bacteria. Again, biochemical testswere performed for further confirmation of identifiedbacteria (tables)

Vol. 06, Issue 05, May 2021 IMPACT FACTOR: 7.98 (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL) 42 Highest salmonella count was
found (3.2 X 105cfu/ml) inbroiler skin sample & lowest in desi tissue sample (0.3 X 105cfu/ml)
Pseudomonas count was (1.8 X 105cfu/ml) highest in broiler skin &
lowest in its tissue sample (0.5 X 105cfu/ml)
Clostridium (1.3 X 105cfu/ml)
&shigella (1.4 X 105cfu/ml) were only isolated from broiler skin sample.
Campylobacter was isolated from broiler skin (0.7 X 105cfu/ml) & lowest in desi tissue (0.2 X 105cfu/ml) sample.
Figure 1 and 2 shows a total microbial count of all the collected samples, in which highest microbial risk category is shown in boiler chicken as compared to desi.
(Null Hypothesis: There is no difference in the number of colonies in microorganism on skin and tissue samples of broiler and desi chicken)
By observing (table 3) Statical analysis of the broiler and desi skin sample shows thatE. coli, Pseudomonasaureogenosa, S. Typhi, S.
Aureus, Shigella, Clostridium prefringens, and Campylobacter reject our null hypothesis because P-value is less than the critical value (2.306). Which is clearly showing there is lot of difference in the desi and broiler skin sample.
Table 4 conclude that tissue sample of desi and broiler data analysis of
P-value shown E. coli,
Pseudomonasaureogenosa, S. Typhi, and Campylobacterreject the null hypothesis.
S. Aureus, Shigella, and Clostridium prefringens were not isolated in tissue and skin sample which indicate that maybe desi chicken is resistant to these micro-organisms.
Chicken can be considered a good source of food due to its nutrient value, low cost and easy availability.
Contamination of poultry with microorganisms is a major health concern. Because of poor hygienic environment chickens are easily exposed to microorganisms. Broiler spends its life in closed farms with a crowd at controlled temperature and feed and with no physical activity is better habitat for food- borne micro-organisms.
Desi chicken lives in an open environment, running around and scratching soil for worms and insects,
feed with household scraps isa physically very active and healthy option for us as compared to broiler. It is recommended that precautions should be taken to prevent infections before consumption of poultry meat. One should choose healthy chickens and use proper cooking practices to get microbe-free food.
