Introduction Fusarium head blight (FHB), also known as scab, is an economically devastating fungal disease of small-grain cereals such as wheat, barley and oat (Kulik et al., 2007). Fusarium graminearum is the major causal agent of this disease in many areas of the world, while in Europe other species such as F. culmorum, F. avenaceum and F. poae have been found frequently (Nicholson et al., 2003). Several researches have documented the increased importance of F. poae in some...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are fungal-generated secondary metabolites that are ubiquitous and unavoidable contaminants of food and feed, and their consumption by humans and animals results in diseases and death. Several species of the genus Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium are capable of producing mycotoxins (Cole & Cox, 1981). For instance, Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, A. nomius, and A. psudotamarii are responsible for the production of a series of highly toxic...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary toxic metabolites produced by filamentous fungi which, even at low concentrations, represent an important danger for both animal and human health [1,2]. Currently, over 300 mycotoxins have been identified worldwide, being aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, trichothecenes, and fumonisins, the most frequently found with synergistic toxic effects reported when more than one of these mycotoxins are present in the feed [3,4]. Mycotoxins are...

Corn-soya based mash diet has problem in flowing in the feeder and it gets stuck in the bridge. Some of the literature say that sodium bentonite can be mixed at the rate of 2kg/ton to overcome this problem. I need practical suggestion regarding use of sodium bentonite in poultry mash feed. And is there any other more effective solution to this problem other than using clay? ...

1. Introduction As a widely cultivated crop and staple food in the world, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is crucial for ensuring food security. Unfortunately, its production is limited by many abiotic and biotic stresses. Among biotic stresses, fungal diseases are the most important. Worldwide, one of the most devastating fungal diseases of wheat is Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab, which is caused by a number of different Fusarium species, but most commonly F. graminearum. FHB...

In 2021 mycotoxins semiannual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 163 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed. The samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol (DON) by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: 163 feed samples collected, and 74.8% were contaminated with Zearalenone and 71.8% contaminated with Aflatoxins (table 1). The maximum concentrations of...

1. Introduction The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimated that 25% of the cereal production is contaminated by mycotoxins [1]. Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 )—the major secondary metabolite of Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius—has adverse effects on humans and animals that result in health disorders and economic losses. To avoid these harmful effects, many physical, chemical, and biological decontamination...
