In one of the experiments carried out in my laboratory it was found the use of Mannan oligosaccharides (at the rate 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2% in feed) ameliorated the adverse effects of aflatoxin partially in dose dependent manner. The 0.2% level of MOS was more effective than 0.05% and 0.1% level in counteracting the 300 ppb of aflatoxin in the feed. The response criteria was production performance, organ weight, blood biochemistry, immunity; and gross and histopathology of organs.
