Aflatoxin is a potent mycotoxin that can cause cancer, stunted growth, and (in extreme instances) rapid death. Aflatoxin can contaminate many staple crops, including maize and groundnuts. As many as 4.5 billion people in the developing world may be chronically exposed. Scientists at the United St...

A survey of aflatoxin and aflasafe awareness and management among Nigerian poultry producers and feed millers
The distribution and aflatoxigenicity of Aspergillus section Flavi isolates in 58 commercial poultry feed samplesobtained from 17 states in five agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Nigeria were determined in order to assess thesafety of the feedswith respect to aflatoxin-producing fungi. Correlation ...

Distribution of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus section Flavi in commercial poultry feed in Nigeria
Metabolites of toxigenic fungi and bacteria occur as natural contaminants (e.g. mycotoxins) in feedstuffs making them unsafe to animals. The multi-toxin profiles in 58 commercial poultry feed samples collected from 19 districts in 17 states of Nigeria were determined by LC/ESI–MS/MS with a single...
