A survey on distribution and toxigenicity of Aspergillus section Flavi in poultry feeds
Thirty-five samples of poultry feeds and corresponding raw materials (maize, soybean and meat meal) from a processing plant were analyzed to evaluate the distribution and toxigenicity of Aspergillus section Flavi isolates. Mycological analysis of the samples indicated the presence of five fungal gen...

Sclerotial isolates produced AFB1 levels ranging between 0.05 and 27.7μg/kg and CPA levels from 3.8 to 47.3μg/kg.
