[Aflatoxin in the meat of broiler chickens fed toxic mixed feed]

The effect of aflatoxin in the doses 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg per 1 kg of mixed feed and residual aflatoxin in the tissue have been studied. Residual aflatoxin B1 in the liver and muscles of broilers appeared to surpass those reported in the literature. When 49-day-old broilers were deprived of the toxin, its levels in the liver, muscles decreased for 10 days up to the levels 1.1-4.3 micrograms/kg. the inclusion in the chicken feed of methionine (0.3%) or meat-bone flour (5%) weakens the toxin effect and reduces toxin residues content in the tissues 2-3-fold.
