This study was carried out to know the distribution of aflatoxin B1 in various edible tissues of broilers from poultry feed at the stage of marketing. For this purpose liver, kidney, dressed meat and poultry feed of the representative flocks were collected and oven dried. The aflatoxin B1 contents of the samples were determined through thin layer chromatography. The data thus collected were statistically analyzed and the results showed that the aflatoxin B1 level was higher (P0.01) in liver as compared to kidneys and meat.
