Description

The aim of this study was to compare the presence and the content of aflatoxin in poultry feed samples from two years (2013-2014). A total of 349 samples of complete feeding mixtures for turkeys, broiler chicks and laying hens were investigated. In 203 samples from 2013 year (10 samples of feed for turkeys, 145 samples of feed for broilers and 48 samples of feed for laying hens), overall aflatoxin content was ranged from 2 to 87 μg/kg, with the average value of 19 μg/kg. On the other hand, in 146 samples from 2014 year (14 samples of feed for turkeys, 78 samples of feed for broilers and 54 samples of feed for laying hens), overall aflatoxin content was notably lower (12 μg/kg) and ranged from 5 to 35 μg/kg. The obtained aflatoxin occurrence may lead to a conclusion that the high aflatoxin content during 2013 was an exception in comparison with 2014 and the studies from previous years. However, these results were not surprising taking into account a high degree of corn infestation by A. flavus molds during 2012, which came as a result of favorable agricultural conditions for the development of these molds.
