The Effect of Clay- and Yeast-Based Mycotoxin Binder on Performance, Lymphoid Organs, Blood Parameters, Immune Response and Haematology Parameters of Broilers Exposed to Aflatoxin B₁. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Broilers fed diets contaminated with 200 µg/kg AFB1 showed poor growth performance throughout the period. These adverse effects of aflatoxicosis may be associated with liver dysfunction, immune dysfunction and inflammation of immune organs. However, supplementation of 1 g/kg MAG counteracted the negative effects caused by AFB1, reducing liver ...
