Thermotolerant coliforms and mesophilic bacteria count in free-range and industrial broiler chicken samples (Mean ± SD, n = 3)
| Chicken | N | Thermotolerant coliforms | Mesophilic bacteria |
|---|---|---|---|
| log MPN g−1 | log CFU g−1 | ||
| Industrial | 12 | 2.45 ± 0.86a | 5.12 ± 0.35a |
| Free-range | 12 | 2.75 ± 0.43a | 5.31 ± 0.20a |
| Pr > F | 0.3364 | 0.1408 |
Means followed by different letters in the same column differ by the F-test (p ≤ 0.05). MPN Most probable number, CFU Colony-forming unit
