Overview

Cross-sectional survey finds widespread aflatoxin B1 contamination in poultry feed samples, suggesting potential risks to animal health and food safety.

Key Points

  • Widespread aflatoxin B1 contamination occurred across all tested poultry feeds, with 5.7% of commercial feed and ingredient samples exceeding permitted regulatory limits.
  • High-performance liquid chromatography revealed aflatoxin B1 contamination reaching 52.3 ppb in poultry feed, whereas raw peanut meal showed 177.5 ppb.
  • Highlights the urgent need for systematic mycotoxin screening during feed formulation, protecting poultry health and preventing toxic food safety hazards in human diets.
