Aflatoxin contamination (AC) in maize, caused by the fungal pathogen Aspergillus flavus(Link), starts at pre-harvest stage. Hence, interventions that reduce entry and development of A. flavus in the field are required. Trials were carried out at Seatondale and Igeri, to evaluate the effects of ni...

Detecting and preventing contamination of dairy cattle feed
Globally, crops are being infested with molds. In tropical regions, Aspergillus species
commonly occur, some of which produce aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are hepatotoxic,
nephrotoxic and carcinogenic to different degrees in livestock as well as humans,
causing acute fatal disease as well as chronic il...

Aflatoxins: Serious threat to food safety and food security: But is it related to livestock?
Maize, a staple food in many African countries including Kenya, is often contaminated by toxic and carcinogenic fungal secondary metabolites such as aflatoxins and fumonisins. This study evaluated the potential use of a low-cost, multi-spectral sorter in identification and removal of aflatoxin- a...
Food security considerations have shifted in recent years, with the recognition that available food should also be nutritious and safe. There is a growing evidence base for contamination of maize and other crops by fungal toxins in the tropics and sub-tropics. As an initial snapshot of contaminat...
