Effects of Ochratoxin A on heavy pig production [PDF]
Animal Research, 2005 Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widespread mycotoxin mainly produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum which can affect cereals and which occurs in meat and meat products. It has been demonstrated that OTA is nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic and carcinogenic in all mammalian species; pigs and poultry are the species most exposed to OTA toxicity.
