Irradiation is the significant way of sterilization of food from microbes. This work was conducted to determine the microbial load on Broiler chicken and their elimination by gamma radiation and enhance the shelf life of Broiler chicken. Broiler chicken samples were irradiated at 0.5, 1 and 1.5kGy doses by gamma radiation source Co60. Then samples were tested to evaluate the microbes Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., on broiler chicken by total viable count, Staphylococcus count, coliform count, yeast and mold count and hemolytic bacterial count....
