- Abstract
Chicken meat is popular because of public's low purchase power, thus making it an alternative of other meat, such as beef. Meat is animal derived protein required by human. However, meat can also be harmful for human health if they do not fulfill food security aspect, such as not free from microbes or chemical contaminations, which can disturb health. It has been known that dioxin compound has contaminated food sources, especially animal source products since dioxin's characteristics which bond lipid. Dioxin may be a residue in meat with highest peroral route being from food contaminated by dioxin. This research aimed to determine the diameter size of muscle fibers in chicken contaminated by dioxin. This research used Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with research animal 12 male Cobb strain broiler chicken aged 21 days divided into 2 groups, the negative control group and the positive group exposed to dioxin. Positive group exposed to dioxin were given feed that has been mixed with dioxin for 21 days with the ratio 50 ng/kg feed mixed in 1 kg feed. On day 22 the research progressed to euthanasia with exsanguination followed by wing and thigh muscle sampling to be made into hematoxylin eosin (HE) stained preparate. Histomorphometry observation was performed by measuring the diameter of muscle fiber. Data was tabulated in average value±standard deviation. Average muscle fiber diameter in dioxin exposed group was lower compared to negative control group.
