Salmonella, staphylococcus aurens, coli forms are the isolate detected in the samples from both the traditional and the modern farms. Total Bacterial Count (TBC) was estimated as highest load among the fresh samples of the traditional farm (54x104) CFU/g, due to environmental contamination, the load was decreased in the same sample after thirty days of storage (25x104), this explains the impact of storage on microbial quality of poultry meat.
