Abstract
This research delves into the intricate interplay between agricultural practices, livestock feed compositions, and their implications for both poultry health and human nutrition. The study extensively investigates the nutritional content of various chicken feeds and the edible parts of chickens, while also analyzing the elemental composition of chicken blood and human serum across different farms and sites. The examination of metal concentrations in chicken blood and human serum brings to light intriguing variations based on different age groups, indicating the potential influence of age-related factors on metal accumulation. This study significantly contributes to a holistic comprehension of the multifaceted connections between agricultural practices, metal exposure, and nutritional outcomes. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the concentration of essential elements, including cadmium (Cd) in chicken feeds, edible parts, chicken blood, and human serum. The research explored the variability of metal content across different farms. Comparing the results to existing studies, it is evident that this research provides valuable contributions to the field, shedding light on the potential health implications of metal content in poultry products. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of monitoring heavy metal concentrations in chicken products and the need for stringent quality control measures to ensure food safety and human well-being.
