Strategies for decreasing aflatoxin in livestock feed and milk
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 is a fungus secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus in infected livestock feed and transferred to livestock body through consumption of the infected feed. Aflatoxin B1 is converted to aflatoxin M1 in livestock body and exits through infected milk. Both the aflatoxins are carcinogenic compounds. In this overview, preventive efforts in decreasing aflatoxin in livestock feed and milk are reviewed which are carried out either indirectly in livestock feed or directly in milk. Indirect methods include controlling aflatoxin infection in agricultural farms, livestock feed factories and the feed warehouses through some methodologies and direct methods include decreasing aflatoxin with the use of absorbents, chemicals and biological methods in milk.
