The Effect of Goat Milk Yoghurt Casein Tablet on Dioxin Residue Level in Wing and Thigh Meat of Coob Broiler Chicken

Abstract

Chicken meat consumption, especially for broiler chicken, is increasing with time. Chicken meat is preferred by the community because it is easily digestible, relatively cheap, and a good source of animal protein. Latest rumor on the safety of animal derived food is the presence of dioxin compound. Dioxin is a dangerous chemical produced during incineration of household and industrial waste. Food is the main source and pathway for dioxin to enter the body. Most dioxin consumption come from beef, chicken meat, fish, egg, and milk. This research utilized Complete Randomized Sampling (CRS) with 18 Cobb strain broiler chickens as research animals which were divided into 3 groups: negative control group, positive control group, and treatment group. Research animal were given 3 goat milk yoghurt casein tablet/chicken/day (casein dosage was 750 mg of tablet weight) diluted in Reverse Osmosis (RO) water and 2,3,7,8-TCDD 50 ng/ml/1 kg feed dosage for 21 days. Wing and thigh meat samples were analyzed for dioxin residue by UV spectrophotometer in 300 nm wavelength. Residue level data was statistically analyzed by One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test followed by Tukey’s Honestly Significant Test (HSD). The result showed a drop of dioxin residue level in the wing and thigh of treatment group. The result was obtained by comparing with the average residue level of positive control.
