Abstract:
Adding 0.5% hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate to diets formulated with aflatoxin-contaminated corn significantly reduced the detrimental effects of the mycotoxin on live weight gains and feed intake. Hepatocellular changes normally associated with aflatoxin consumption could not be detected histopathologically in liver sections from pigs fed contaminated diets plus the aluminosilicate sorbent.
