Abstract

This study was aimed at Isolating fungi associated with crop of a local fowl. But series of Research have been conducted on fungal contaminants associated with Broiler Liter , But we Have less reported on fungal contaminants of poultry . The goals of this study were to (1) Describe the nature and Features of litter fungal contaminants and (2) report the frequency of fungi species present.10 new and 20 old samples were collected from 10 farms.In addition, Air samples were also collected, and after various procedures, 14 different fungal genera were detected in new litter. With respect to old litter, 18 species of fungi were detected, with Fusarium the most frequently isolated (41.2%), followed by A. section Flavi. (27.3%), Oudeemansiela sp (9.9%), and Yeast (16.9%).A significant positive correlation was found between litter fungal Biomass and total fungal contamination. Different Morphology and quantification of species have important implications in the evaluation of potential adverse health risks to exposed Farm workers and animals. Indescriminate spreading of poultry litter in fields is a potential environmental  health concern, since (Rhizopus spp and mucor spp)  were isolated.
