The objectives of the present study were to examine the level of radiocesium  deposit in meat and edible organs of broiler chickens as well as to  investigate efficiency of natural sepiolite in reducing 137Cs deposition in  meat, liver and gizzard of alimentary contaminated broiler chickens. Broiler  chickens (six weeks of age) were fed with the standard diet and each broiler  was given a single oral dose of 137Cs, total activity of 3750 Bq. The  broilers were divided into two groups (10 broilers per group). The group 1  was control (received only radiocesium). The broilers of the group 2, in  addition to radiocesium received natural sepiolite solution (2 g sepiolite  per bird). After 24 hours, all broilers, from each group, were stunned and  killed. The samples of meat, (breast and legs), liver and gizzard were taken  from each broiler, for gamma spectrometry determination of radiocesium  activity. After 24 hours of contamination, 56 % of introduced 137Cs  radioactivity was deposited in the meat (breast and legs muscles), 1 % in the  liver and 2,4 % in the gizzard of broiler chickens 42 days of age. Natural  sepiolite demonstrated insufficient protective action. Compared to the  control group, percentage reduction (decreasing percentage) of 137Cs  deposition in meat was 16%, in liver 5% and in gizzard 12%.
