Abstract
Nickel content in nail samples of male poultry farm workers involved in manual feeding operations was detected using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The nickel concentration in nail sample of poultry farm workers ranged from 0.53 to 6.10mg/l. Assessment of general health status of workers revealed that some workers had different kind of skin allergies and respiratory diseases like asthma due to unpredictable toxicity of nickel in their body owing to exposure to Ni during manual feeding operations.

Highlights
Nickel content in nail samples of male poultry farm workers involved in manual feeding operations was detected using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS)
Nickel is used as the Poultry farm workers involved in handling raw material in production non- ferrous of poultry feed can be exposed to nickel
Nickel concentration in nail sample of poultry farm workers was above the reference value [12] given by Gammelgaard et al (1991) for nickel concentration in nails that is 1.19±1.61 μg/g (Figure 2)
Summary
Nickel content in nail samples of male poultry farm workers involved in manual feeding operations was detected using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Introduction boost the weight of poultry animals [5]. Due to rapid growth of economy and the Poultry feed have nickel as one of the sharp advanced trend lie in urbanization and ingredients used to boost weight of poultry industrial sector, the environmental concerns animals, and as starter, developer and have become increasingly more important.
