Mycotoxins in poultry
Common mycotoxins associated with mycotoxicoses in poultry include aflatoxins, fumonisins, zearalenone, ochratoxins, and trichothecenes such as deoxynivalenol and T-2 toxins. Diagnosis requires detection and quantification of the specific mycotoxin. Treatment includes removal of the source of the mycotoxin and supportive care. Mold mitigation strategies can be used for prevention. Mycotoxicoses are diseases caused by the poisonous effects of the toxins produced by filamentous microfungi (ie, toxigenic molds). Hundreds of mycotoxins are known and can produce mild to severe toxic effects when they occur above levels of concern. The importance of mycotoxin problems in poultry is probably considerable yet difficult to measure. Chronic low levels of exposure to more than one type of mycotoxin appears to be a commonality, yet is less clinically evident.
INTRODUCTION Food has an important role in people's life. Animal protein is one of the essential needs of human nutrition. Poultry has been used as a valuable source of protein in human nutrition in the world for years and animal products, specially meat and poultry liver have played an important role in people’s nutrition. This product is influenced by factors that make it improper nutrition uses because of different reasons (Allameh and Razzaghi Abyaneh, 2001). Today,...

Poultry industry has emerged as the most dynamic and fastest expanding segment in animal husbandry sector with an annual growth rate of 6% in 1980's, 11% in 1990s, 19% in 1997-2002 and 6.2% during 2002-2006 in broiler chickens and 5-6% in egg production during this period in India. With an annual production (BAHS, 2010) of around 61.45 billion eggs (95.2% hen, 2.5% duck and 2.3% from other species) and 2.03 million metric tonnes of poultry meat, India ranks third and fifth in egg and...

Introduction Fungi and their toxic products easily grow in different environmental conditions, especially in humid and warm environment. This situation can happen during harvest, transport and storage. In feedstuff for animals, mycotoxins are undesirable but inevitable. It leads to that mycotoxins taken by farm animals in certain concentration and affect their performance with silent symptoms. Toxi-free PLUS® (Life Rainbow Biotech Co., Ltd. Taiwan) is specially...

Introduction Aflatoxins (AF) are a major concern in poultry production and public health because of serious economic losses and health problems. AF in poultry feed cause listlessness, anorexia with lowered growth rate, poor feed utilization, decreased egg production and increased mortality (Miazzo et al 2000). Anaemia (Oguz et al 2000a), reduction of immune function (Gabal and Azzam 1998, Oguz et al 2003), hepatotoxicosis, hemorrhage (Ortatatli and Oguz 2001), teratogenesis,...

The impact of cumulative stress Farming animals are every day confronted with a number of challenges: climatic conditions (variation in temperature, humidity), vaccinations & infections, bad feed quality, change of feed, toxins and many other. This accumulation of several stress factors often leads to oxidative stress at the cellular level which results in: a compromised liver, suppression of the...

The Problem Endotoxins are potentially toxic compounds from bacterial origin. The most well-known endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are part of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. In poultry, the GI tract is a large reservoir of microorganisms, and therefore the most important source of endotoxins. During normal bacterial division and lysis, LPS molecules are released into the lumen. Once absorbed from the lumen, endotoxins induce an inflammatory response,...

Endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides or LPS) are part of the cell wall of Gramnegative bacteria. During growth or bacterial lysis, LPS are released and can transfer to blood and tissues. In poultry, the intestinal microflora is the most important source of endotoxins, and the GI tract the main risk site for transfer from the lumen. Several factors (e.g. heat stress, mycotoxins, pathogens, feed transition) are known to increase gut permeability, promoting leakage of endotoxins into the blood. Once...

INTRODUCTION Aflatoxin causes severe economic losses to the poultry industry. Aflatoxicosis that occurs from ingesting aflatoxins is characterized in broiler chickens by decreased feed intake and growth rate, poor feed utilization and mortality (Tedesco et al ., 2004; Bailey et al ., 2006; Shi et al ., 2006). Aflatoxicosis is also associated with changes in biochemical and haematological parameters (Denli et al ., 2004; Basmacioglu et...

INTRODUCTION
Aflatoxins are defined as difuranocyclopentanocumarines / difuranopentanolidocumarines this contains a dihydrofuran or a tetrahydrofuran ring. One of the most important effects of post harvest decays of fruits, vegetables and especially of seed and feed deterioration by fungi is the produce of mycotoxicoses. This is a disease of animals and humans following consumption of feeds and foods invaded by fungi that produce toxic substances called...

Introduction Aspergillosis is a fungal disease of all poultry species; infection by A. fumigatus may induce significant economic losses particularly in turkey production (1). Aspergillosis usually occurs in the respiratory system of chickens, turkeys, and less frequently in ducklings, pigeons, canaries, and geese (2). In poultry, Aspergillus fumigatus is considered to be the most pathogenic and the most frequent isolates from pathologic lesions (3,4). In nature, the fungal...
