1. Introduction Toxigenic fungi may often colonize fodder crops and feed components. Under varied environmental conditions, they can produce toxic secondary metabolites, called mycotoxins. A recent study investigated the occurrence of mycotoxins in European feed samples and concluded that 82% of the samples were contaminated with mycotoxins [1], indicating that mycotoxins are omnipresent. All farm animals can experience a negative impact from a dietary intake...

INTRODUCTION Zearalenone (ZEA) is produced by Fusarium fungi growing on grains worldwide and is mostly found in its derived products. Concentrations depend on climatic conditions, as well as on the conditions of feed storage and production (Rotter et al., 1996; Voss et al., 2007). With a similar structure to estrogen, zearalenone has been demonstrated to affect swine reproduction (Etienne and Jemmali, 1982; Young et al., 1990). Besides its estrogenic effects, zearalenone has...

Introduction Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites from certain fungal lineages of the Aspergillus genus, mainly A. flavus and A. parasiticus . Aflatoxins B 1 , B 2 , G 1 , and G 2 are natural contaminants of seeds and feed, mainly nuts, peanuts, cotton seeds, maize, and other oilseeds (Sweeney and Dobson, 1998; Stroka et al., 2000). Obtaining trustable results on mycotoxins analysis in feed is important for...

Introduction Traditionally, the presence of mycotoxins capable of causing damage in animal production has been demonstrated by detecting certain levels in ingredients and / or rations. Since this technique has many limitations, histopathology has been used in many areas to demonstrate that these toxic agents are actually affecting the birds. Here we propose a practical approach to demonstrate their presence in comercial farms. By following this...

1. Introduction Awareness of mycotoxins has grown mainly in the last fifty years since the discovery of aflatoxins in the 1960s, although they have accompanied mankind from the very beginnings and were probably associated with several mysterious diseases known from history [1]. Mycotoxins are now recognized as prevalently toxic compounds produced as secondary metabolites by various fungi and excreted into their...

This paper was published in "British Poultry Science Volume 46, Number 3 (June 2005), pp. 394–400" INTRODUCTION Aflatoxins are a major concern in poultry production because of serious economic losses. The toxicity of aflatoxins in broiler chickens has been widely investigated by determining their teratogenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic and growth inhibitory effects (Oguz and...

Pancosma & Associates released its annual mycotoxin survey, in partnership with Labocea, covering 1740 raw material and animal feed samples, evaluating the risk posed to livestock animals by 46 different mycotoxins, mainly in Europe. The comprehensive analysis extended beyond simply detecting contamination, to take into account the differing levels of sensitivity across various animal species. The data gathered show large variations in levels of mycotoxin...

Introduction With the growth in bulk and container sea freight in the second half of last century, the modern food and feed distribution system became a global entity. This had significant positive implications on consumer choice and availability, but also had negative consequences for food borne toxins which manifested themselves during the extended phase of transportation and storage as well as growth and harvest. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CODEX)...

The effectiveness of an anti-mycotoxin additive cannot be based only on in vitro trials anymore; it has to be evaluated by conducting in vivo tests using a scientific experimental design measuring the beneficial effects of the product on target organ protection and animal performance. Practical methods to detoxify grain or feed contaminated with mycotoxins on a large scale and in a cost-effective manner are not currently available. At present, one of the...
