I. INTRODUCTION Mycotoxin-contaminated feeds are frequently reported to be more toxic for animals than their purified forms, indicating possible interactions with each other or with the micro-organisms in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract (JECFA, 2002) as bacteria (Galarza-Seeber et al, 2016). The gastrointestinal tract is the largest immune organ, where several immuno-regulatory mechanisms simultaneously defend the body (Belkaid & Hand, 2014). Yet, it is also home...

INTRODUCTION Mycotoxins are secondary metabolic products of fungi with toxigenic effects in other living species. Worldwide, about 88% of animal feed and feedstuffs are contaminated with at least one mycotoxin [1]. Fusarium toxins are the most prevalent, where deoxynivalenol ranks at first with 64% of occurrence, followed by fumonisins and zearalenone [1]. In pigs chronically fed deoxynivalenol contaminated diets, it is observed increased expression of interleukin 8 and...

It is not the Mycotoxins that replicate themselves or form themselves, but the various fungi or Mycelium which produce them. It is the fungi that require the conducive environment to produce mycotoxins and various fungi produce peculiar, or multiple Mycotoxins that range from Aflatoxin to Fuminoxin, DON and Zearalenone, etc. The conducive factors for these fungi must include appropriate substrate like corn, soy, groundnut, wheat, etc on which they require to grow. Water content in the...

INTRODUCTION Coffee is one of the most appreciated and consumed beverages in the world (1); however, in its various states, it is susceptible to present a risk of contamination by mycotoxins (2). Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that are present in agricultural products due to inadequate food handling and poor storage methods (3,4). Several toxigenic fungi such as Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp., and Ochratoxigenic species have been found in...

1. Introduction Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic fungus implicated in nitrogen and carbon recycling. Typically of soil decomposers, it is capable of surviving in a wide range of conditions [1]. It has evolved to be a great competitor against other environmental microorganisms because it possesses a controlled nutritional flexibility to scavenge nutrients from the environment efficiently [2]. In addition to these characteristics, its abundant sporulation has gained it a...

Abstract To evaluate the efficacy of Mycodetox B2 in ameliorating aflatoxicosis, day-old broiler chicks (n=200) were divided into 5 treatment groups (T1-control, basal diet; T2-T1+200ppb aflatoxin B1 (AFB1); T3- T1+300ppb AFB1; T4-T2+Mycodetox B2; T5-T3+Mycodetox B2). Each diet was fed to 5 replicated groups of 8 birds each from 1 to 42 days of age. During overall growth period (0-6 wk), the body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI) in T1 was higher (P<0.05) than T2 and T3....

Introduction The study of mycotoxins has been an object of interest for the world in the last twenty years, not only because of the large losses in crop and animal productivity but also because of their deleterious effects. Mycotoxins are considered the secondary metabolic product of a large number of fungi that in small amounts are capable of triggering alterations and pathological conditions in both humans and animals. The intake of food contaminated with mycotoxins may cause...
