Poultry meat consumption in Serbia is very important (17 kg/per capita/year), but in comparison to EU states, it is small. Considering that, the goal of this preliminary investigation is ascertainment of ochratoxin A residues (OTA) in regularly slaughtered broilers originating from different parts of Serbia, under the monitoring program. OTA residues were determined by using the high efficient method of liquid chromatography with fluorescent detection (HPLC-FD). Presence of OTA residues in broiler tissues ranged from: 16.6% (mean 0.14 +/- 0.92 ng/g) in gizzard, up to 25.6% in liver (mean 0.36 +/- 1.18 ng/g) and kidneys 25.6% (0.36 +/- 1.49 ng/g). Average concentrations in liver and kidney samples were identical. Relatively low values of standard deviation point the narrow interval in which OTA is present in tissues. The preliminary study results of OTA presence in broiler tissues points that actual concentration is generally very low, below recommended values of Scientific Committee of European Food Safety Authority (SC, EFSA) where tolerable daily intake (TDI) for OTA is bellow 5ng/kg/body weight.
