AFLATOXIN EXCRETION THROUGH MILK

Excretion of Aflatoxin M1 in milk of goats fed diet contaminated by Aflatoxin B1

An experiment was carried out to study the excretion of aflatoxin M1(AFM1) in milk of three goats fed a single dose (0.8mg/head) of pure aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The values of AFM1 concentration excreted in milk was highly variable among goats, even if the pattern of excretion over time was very similar among the three animals. AFM1 was first detected at the milking performed 1h after the AFB1 admi...

Aflatoxin M1 in Milk - FSA4018

Aflatoxins are mycotoxins of major concern to the dairy industry. Most mycotoxins are found in grain, usually grown in a drought, although they may contaminate pasture grass and occasionally hay. Most frequently, aflatoxins are found in corn (see Figures 1-3) and cottonseed, and sometimes in their byproducts, but also on rare occasions in soybeans or distiller’s grain. Peanut products also may ...

Aflatoxin Residues in Fluid Milk

The content limit for allatoxin B1 in feedstuffs of the European Common Market Commission can result in the presence of aflatoxin in milk, Traces of aflatoxin have been found in milk, depending on the feedstuff used, feeding conditions and the season of the year. These results were confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, by chemical reactions and by fluorescence spectra. Metabolic investigation...

Exposure to Aflatoxin M1 through milk consumption in Tehran population, Iran

Milk would be contaminated with Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) if it was obtained from lactating animal which fed with feedstuffs containing Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). AFM1 is classified as group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans and exposure to AFM1 through milk consumption is a public concern. The purpose of this study was to determine the AFM1 exposure through liquid milk consumption for adult consumers in...
