Mycotoxins in poultry
Welcome to the page about Mycotoxins in poultry of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Mycotoxins in poultry.
Feed constitutes one of the major costs incurred upon rearing a successful poultry farming. It is usually observed that up to 80% of the total rearing cost in Poultry is constituted by the Feed and thus it becomes imperative to have the best quality feed in order to attain the maximum performance potential of birds. The Feed which is made up of various raw materials can be the first source of infection to the birds. The external contamination of Feed through various means which include...

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most common trichothecenes mycotoxins, and is a natural occurrence mycotoxin produced by Fusarium graminearum . DON also is known as vomitoxin due to its strong emetic effects after consumption and causes animals’ vomit. DON occurrence in food and feed represents more than 90% of the total number of samples, and it is a potential marker of the occurrence of other mycotoxins.
The occurrence of mycotoxins originates from before and after...

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a major mycotoxin from the trichothecene family of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium fungi that cause disease in grains. Food and feed contaminated with DON cause a variety of adverse health effects in humans and farm animals. Fifty-four one-day-old broilers (Ross 308) were randomly allocated to three different treatment groups (n = 18 per group): ...

In 2022 mycotoxins annual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 342 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: From January to December 2022, the import volume of feed corn was 4,383 thousand tons, and Brazil and Argentina is 32.05% and 31.27%, followed by South Africa...

1. Introduction Aspergillus is soil fungal species that have been recognized as a major contaminant of different grains utilized for poultry diets [1]. They grow rapidly under high moisture conditions and produce biologically active hepatotoxic aflatoxins [2]. Maize, cereals like rice, wheat, pistachios, cottonseed, copra groundnuts, and many other feed stuffs are contaminated by these fungal species [3–5]. Aflatoxin actually covers three words in accordance...

Introduction Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi. They are unavoidable contaminants in foods and feeds, exerting harmful effects upon animal and human health 39 . The most important mycotoxins in naturally contaminated foods and feeds are aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxins, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol and fumonisins 7,32 . Aflatoxin contaminated feeds are a severe threat to both livestock productivity and human health and cause...

Introduction Ergot alkaloids (EA) are a group of compounds produced primarily by fungi of the Claviceps and Epichloë spp. Ergot infection has traditionally been associated with grasses and rye, however when conditions are favourable, other important cereals such as wheat, barley, triticale and oats can become infected. The fungus prefers cool, moist conditions during the flowering phase of the host plant and there is evidence that the incidence is increasing. For example, in a...

In scientific publications in the 1980s – 1990s you can find information about a spreading of mycotoxins. But since that time cultivars and agricultural technology have changed, methods of grain storage and grain processing have improved due to the overal progress. Between January 2009 and December 2011 Austrian researchers selected 7049 samples of grain on different continents. The samples were analyzed for the occurrence of aflatoxins (AFB), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON),...
