1. Introduction Mycotoxins are fungi-derived metabolites capable of causing a dverse effects to both humans and animals. They are produced by toxigenic fungi, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, and Fusarium species, under specific temperature and humidity conditions [1–4]. The main mycotoxins occurring in food and feedstuffs are aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, and fumonisins [4,5]. Contamination by mycotoxins is common in...

The struggle for living space concerns not only people and animals but can refer also to molds. When mold (fungi) contaminated the food in case of bad environment for its development it states to produce second metabolites—mycotoxins—to prevent of growth of another fungus on the same substance. One some of mycotoxins do not effect on animals and people others can cause the drastic effect on health. Nowadays the common method for food and feed analysys on mycotoxins is based on...

Abstract To establish the efficacy of Mycodetox B2 in alleviating aflatoxicosis, day-old broiler chicks (n=200) were divided into 5 treatment groups (T1-control; T2-T1+200ppb aflatoxin B1 (AFB1); T3-T1+300ppb AFB1; T4-T2+Mycodetox B2 and T5-T3+Mycodetox B2). Each diet was fed to 5 replicates of 8 birds each for 42 days of age. Overall liveability percentage (LP) in T3 was lower (P<0.05) than T1. The LP in T4 and T5 was higher than T2 and T3 and statistically similar to T1....

Abstract To evaluate the efficacy of Mycodetox B2 in alleviating aflatoxicosis, day-old quail chicks (n=225) were divided into five treatment groups (T1: control; T2: T1+400ppb aflatoxin B1 (AFB1); T3: T1+600ppb AFB1; T4: T2+Mycodetox B2; T5: T3+Mycodetox B2). Each diet was fed to three replicates of 15 birds each from 1 to 35 day of age. During overall growth (1-5 weeks), the body weight gain (BWG) of T1 was higher (P<0.05) than T2 and T3. The BWG in T2 was higher...

In 2019, 464 randomly collected feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms were analyzed. Samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit (Romer Labs®). Results Of 464 feed samples collected, 88.1% were contaminated with deoxynivalenol ( table 1 ). All the maximum concentrations of mycotoxin were over the limit of quantification in this...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are ubiquitous in nature and has been reported a natural contaminants of various feed or fodder throughout the world (Katole et al., 2013). Mycoxicosis, is characterized by its hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive, carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects in animals and poultry (Patil et al., 2005, 2006, 2014, 2017a, b; Patial et al., 2013; Patil and Degloorkar, 2016a, b, 2018; Singh, 2019c, d, f; Singh et al., 2019a, b).

Amongst the most widespread mycotoxins, aflatoxins are of great concern in warm and humid climatic conditions like India (Singh et al. 2010). Aflatoxins include B1, B2, G1 and G2, and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most important toxic secondary metabolites, produced by 3 closely related species of Aspergillus; A. flavus, A. parasiticus and A. nomius in the feedstuffs. Avoidance of contaminated feed is rarely feasible and feeds that contain relatively low concentrations of AFB1 may have...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are found worldwide as natural contaminants or co-contaminants of feed and feedstuffs (Katole et al., 2013). The toxicity of mycotoxins i.e. mycotoxicosis, is characterized by its nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive, hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects in animals and poultry (Patil et al., 2005, 2006, 2014, 2017a, b; Patial et al., 2013; Patel et al., 2015; Patil and Degloorkar, 2016a, b, 2018).

However, a high percentage of the commercial layer’s world population is still affected by S.G., therefore vaccination with a live attenuated vaccines of S....

Charcoals have been known and appreciated for many years for their purifying effects and to improve the safety of drinking water and general detoxification purposes. How can we apply this knowledge to livestock animals to improve their gut health? Although charcoals have been known and appreciated for thousands of years for their purifying effects, only more recently, the specific quality and characteristics of charcoals have been studied in more detail. The purifying effects of...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are produced by molds under specific conditions, such as high humidity, poor agricultural practices, or damaged and contaminated crops. Although the presence of molds on grains does not necessarily mean there are mycotoxins present, the potential for mycotoxin production does exist. Further, the long-term absence of molds on stored food and feed does not guarantee that the grain is free of mycotoxins [1,2]. The issue of mycotoxin risk is therefore...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are poisonous (toxic) secondary metabolites produced by many filamentous fungi belonging to the phylum Ascomycota. Bennett [1] suggested a definition of mycotoxins as “natural products produced by fungi that evoke a toxic response when introduced in low concentration to higher vertebrates and other animals by a natural route.” Some mycotoxins can have additional effects such as phytotoxicity or antimicrobial activity. Generally,...
