This experiment was conducted to study the effect of Aflatoxins (AF) on broiler performance, organ weight, plasma characteristics, protein digestibility, and metabolizable energy of the diets. Dietary treatments were: 1) control diet based on corn and soybean meal; 2, 3 and 4) control diet plus 1 mg kg-1 AF, 1 mg kg-1 AF and 0.25% mycosorb, and 0.25% Mycosorb, respectively. The results in the A...

A 21-day-long experiment was performed on 160 one-day-old “Ross" broiler chicks. This research was done with the aim of investigating pathomorphological changes in broilers exposed to a relativly small amount of T-2 toxin (2 ppm) and the possibility of prevention and/or alleviating adverse effects of T-2 toxin using various feed additives. Pathohistological examination showed negative consequen...

mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi following their infestation of food crops.one of the effective approaches to control aflatoxicosis is the use of adsorbents. the aim thusfollowed in the present study was a comparison of various adsorbents viz. bentonite, zeolite, vs. anorganic commercial adsorbent (mycosorb) and a mineral – organic commercial adsorbent (biotox)regarding th...

Los alimentos destinados a los animales están contaminados por hongos filamentosos que producen micotoxinas. El estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de Mycosorb A+® adsorbente micotoxinas en la dieta sobre salud, producción y beneficio económico cuyes crianza comercial. Se utilizaron 80 crecimiento raza Perú, entre machos hembras, con un peso 435,5 ± 35,5 gramos (g), distribuidos al aza...
