Chicken Liver has high fatty content and can also cause stomach problems if it is fed in large quantities. Perhaps the biggest risk posed by chicken liver is vitamin A hypervitaminosis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when dogs eat very large quantities of the food or subsist only on liver.

Read on why chicken livers are nutritious:

Amino Acids

Not only does chicken liver contain all nine of the essential amino acids, it also contains large amounts of many of these amino acids. According to the World Health Organization’s recommendations for a 175 lb. adult, one serving of chicken liver provides over 100 percent of the minimum daily requirement for phenylalanine. Phenylalanine assists in the production of dopamine and norepinephrine, which are neurotransmitters that affect mood and memory. One serving of chicken liver also provides more than 50 percent of the requirement for all other essential amino acids.

Fat and Cholesterol

One serving of chicken liver contains 6.4g of fat, 2g of which are saturated fat. This is less than 10 percent of the maximum recommended amount of both fat and saturated fat for an adult consuming 2,000 calories per day. However, chicken liver may still not be a healthy choice if you are at risk for heart disease, since one serving contains 564mg of cholesterol, which is almost twice the maximum recommended amount. Cholesterol should be ingested in limited amounts because it can lead to plaque on artery walls.

Iron and Other Minerals

Although chicken livers may not be a nutritious choice for those with heart disease, you may choose to eat them for their high mineral content, especially if you are iron-deficient. One serving of chicken liver provides more than 100 percent of the DRI for men and 72 percent for women. Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout the body. One serving of chicken liver also supplies 63 percent of the DRI of phosphorus, more than 50 percent of copper, more than 30 percent of zinc and more than 100 percent of selenium.

Vitamins

Chicken livers also supply large amounts of many vitamins. One serving supplies more than 100 percent of the DRI for vitamin A and four of the B vitamins -- folate, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and B12. One serving also provides more than 50 percent of the DRI for choline, vitamin B6 and niacin, which are also water-soluble B vitamins. Vitamin A supports the eyes and immune system. B vitamins assist in the health of the nervous system, liver, brain and muscles.
