Abstract

The aim of our study was to determine the influence of sex on the chemical
composition of chicken meat. For the analysis were taken fresh chickens (2 groups of n-
3) of the genus Gallus (roosters and hens) Macedonian origin. Measured: live weight,
the weight of cold carcass, without feathers and the internal organs, leg with thigh, wing
and fuselage. Examined the chemical and microbiological composition of whole
chicken, breast with skin, built with and without skin. With the chemical analysis we
found that the amount of protein (for roosters) in the breast with skin has the highest
22.9 % (vs 21.8 % hens) and the lowest in built with skin (hens) 16.6% (vs 16.9% in the
rooster). With microbiological analysis we not found bacteria of the genus clostridium,
staphylococcus, proteus, escherichia. The total number of bacteria (bacillus) is slightly
bigger in the breast and built with the skin (from 3.41 to 3.95 log CFU/g) in comparison
to breast without skin (2.52 log CFU/g).
