The first proven case of aflatoxin poisoning of dogs in Serbia [PDF]

World Mycotoxin Journal
Abstract Aflatoxins, secondary metabolites produced by fungi of the Aspergillus genus, are well-documented as contaminants in the food chain, posing significant risks to various species. However, data on aflatoxin poisoning in pets, specifically dogs, remains limited. The aim of this case report is to raise awareness about the susceptibility of dogs to

Determination of Knowledge Based on Aflatoxin Poisoning among Broiler Farmers in Nairobi City County, Kenya

Microbiology Research Journal International, 2023
Background: There is a scarcity of information concerning knowledge of aflatoxin contamination of feeds among farmers even in aflatoxin-prone regions in Kenya. Thus, knowledge of aflatoxins in feeds among poultry farmers is of paramount importance in designing plans to minimize risks of aflatoxin exposure.

The hepatoprotective effect of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries on induced aflatoxin B1 poisoning in chickens

Poultry Science, 2013
The leaves and berries of sea buckthorn (SB; Hippophae rhamnoides; family Elaeagnaceae) are medically claimed as having phytoantioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticancerous properties in humans. This study evaluated the hepatoprotective activity of oil from SB berries against toxicity induced by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in broiler chickens. The toxicity of
