Aflatoxin Toxicity in Beef Cattle
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1968 ConclusionsUnder simulated practical conditions, graded levels of aflatoxin fortified cottonseed meal were fed to young beef cattle. The levels of aflatoxin B1 fed in the ration to groups of 10 steers for 133-196 days were 0, 100, 300, 700, and 1000 parts per billion (ppb). Significant growth inhibition, decreased feed efficiencies, and increased liver
