| Deltamethrin (DMT) is one of synthetic pyrethroid compounds having wide insecticidal activity against a large number of ectoparasites and has important uses in veterinary and human health protection. Due to widely used of deltamethrin in Iraq by farmers to control the insecticide in crop production in agricultures and ectoparasites in animals, this study was planned to identify the presence of deltamethrin residues and quantum of this compound in 192 samples comprising 96 of locally poultry eggs and 96 of laying hens meat (Thigh meat) were collected at random from various markets of Dyala province, 48 samples (24 eggs and 24 meat) from each sector (Khalis, Muqdadiyah, Baquba and Balad Ruz) for the period from October 2015 to January 2016 by using Gas chromatographic technique (GC) for analyzed. The residues analysis showed that all poultry eggs and laying hens thigh meat samples were positive for DMT residues and above the MRLs when comparing. The highest mean levels of DMT residues in poultry eggs samples were recorded at Muqdadiyah, followed by Balad Ruz, Khalis and Baquba (1.02 ± 0.11), (0.99 ± 0.04), (0.95 ± 0.02) and (0.89 ± 0.05) respectively; While the highest mean levels of DMT residues in laying hens thigh meat samples were recorded also at Muqdadiyah, followed by Balad Ruz, Khalis and Baquba (0.96 ± 0.07), (0.88 ± 0.02), (0.79 ± 0.05) and (0.76 ± 0.03) respectively. The statistical analysis revealed that the levels of deltamethrin residues were significantly higher (P≤ 0.05) in Muqdadiyah from other sector of Dyala province in poultry eggs and meat samples. The result of this study clarify the risk of DMT residues to public health and need to create awareness by the local agriculture and public health authorrities regarding the preventive measures to decreasing the pesticides residues in poultry products | ||
