The condition of the animal plays a big role on the clinical and subclinical signs

In general

Biomarker: Aflatoxin M1 in milk
A good quality mycotoxin binder will reduce M1 in milk in maximun 24 to 48 hours since the transformation of B1 into M1 is done in 12 hours.
General Regulation
EU max 50 ppt
USA max 500 ppt

Sub clinical/clinical

Increase in Mastitis
Increase in SCC
Decrease in Milk production

Try to avoid using cotton seed cake because it not only ussualy has falatoxin but there is free fatty acid inside of it that increase the toxicity of Aflatoxin

Yes it does
Cotton seed cake contains a free fatty acid cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) in numerous studies have shown that when both are present, it incrases the toxicity of Aflatoxin.
The other problem is that in many ocasions cotton seed cake contains aflatoxin
