The anti-aflatoxigenic potentials of the leaves of Psidium guajava, Ficus benghalensis, Gardenia radicans, Punica granatum and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. were investigated. Poultry feed inoculated with Aspergillus flavus was treated with plant leaves powder and stored for the period of six months at 28 °C and 16% moisture level. At the end of each month, aflatoxin (AFT) concentrations were determine...
