The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of Campylobacter ih brofler carcasses and it was carried out on collection of 100 carcasses from a chicken abattoir. Eight bacterial agents 8% which proved morphologicalLy and biochemically to be C. jejuni were recovered. Campytobacter JeJuni isolares were blotyped as biotype 1(4 lsolates) biotype 1 a. (3 isolates) and biotype 2 {1 isolates. TIre level of Campylobacter jejuni in broller carcasses was ranging from 1.9 x 10 to 3.31 x 10 CFU per Igm of carcass.
