    Cleaning moldy feed equipment improved broiler chicken health and carcass quality. This suggests that even low levels of mycotoxins can negatively impact poultry economics and that simple hygiene can help control these effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal Science
    • Poultry Science
    • Mycotoxicology

    Background:

    • Moldy feed can harbor mycotoxins, posing risks to animal health and productivity.
    • The economic impact of undefined mycotoxicoses in poultry production is not fully understood.
    • Standard feed hygiene practices may be crucial for mitigating mycotoxin exposure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of cleaning moldy feed delivery systems on broiler chicken performance.
    • To assess the relationship between feed hygiene, mycotoxin presence, and economic outcomes in poultry.
    • To determine if simple preventive measures can control mycotoxicoses in broiler chickens.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted a field trial involving thorough scrubbing and disinfection of feed delivery equipment.

  • Monitored body weight, pigmentation, and carcass grade of broiler chickens.
  • Quantified levels of aflatoxin and ochratoxin in feed, though findings suggest other mycotoxins were present.

    • Main Results:

    • Broiler chickens fed from cleaned equipment showed significant improvements in body weight, pigmentation, and carcass grade.
    • These improvements occurred despite low and infrequent levels of detected aflatoxin and ochratoxin.
    • The results indicate that mycotoxicoses, even at subclinical levels, can negatively affect broiler production.

    Conclusions:

    • Simple preventive measures, such as rigorous cleaning and disinfection of feed systems, can effectively improve broiler chicken health and economic returns.
    • Mycotoxicoses, potentially involving unidentified mycotoxins, can have a significant detrimental economic impact on poultry farming.
    • Enhanced feed hygiene is a practical strategy for partially controlling mycotoxicoses and their adverse effects in broiler production.
