    Aflatoxin poisoning caused severe illness and death in hunting dogs. Diagnosis involved detecting aflatoxin B1 in tissues or contaminated feed, highlighting ongoing aflatoxicosis risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Toxicology
    • Animal Pathology

    Background:

    • Aflatoxins are potent hepatotoxins affecting various animal species.
    • Hunting dogs are susceptible to aflatoxicosis, presenting with severe clinical signs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two outbreaks of aflatoxicosis in hunting dogs.
    • To emphasize the diagnostic methods and continuing threat of aflatoxin contamination in animal feed.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case reporting of two separate outbreaks.
    • Laboratory analysis of dog tissues for aflatoxin B1.
    • Analysis of feed samples for aflatoxin B1 and B2 content.

    Main Results:

    • Dogs exhibited icterus, anorexia, listlessness, toxic hepatitis, bilirubinuria, and anemia.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Aflatoxin B1 was confirmed in tissues in the first outbreak.
  • Feed in the second outbreak contained 511 ng/g of aflatoxin B1 and B2.

    • Conclusions:

    • Aflatoxicosis remains a significant health concern for dogs.
    • Effective diagnosis relies on tissue and feed analysis.
    • Continued vigilance and testing are crucial to mitigate aflatoxin risks.
