What is it about?

Continuous feeding of AFB1 to broiler chicken at levels of 50 and 100 ppb for 28 days did not reveal measurable AFB1 residues in muscle tissues. Serum values of ALT, ALP, total protein, and albumin may serve as markers for chronic aflatoxicosis in affected poultry.

Why is it important?

In this work we try to explain the chronic effect of aflatoxinB1 on broilers and study the changes in selected blood parameters during aflatoxicosis.

Perspectives

This work will help in early diagnosis of aflatoxicosis in poultry birds
