Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals high aflatoxin levels in dairy cattle feed, indicating storage practices and risk factors need urgent attention in Tigray.

Key Points

Mean total aflatoxin concentration found was 8.84 µg/kg, with substantial spatial variability observed across five towns.
Multivariate analysis confirmed that fungal species and total fungal colony counts are key predictors of aflatoxin levels.
Risk factors for contamination include improper storage and high temperatures, as observed in the dairy feed samples collected.
Integrated interventions like farmer education and improved storage practices are crucial for addressing feed safety issues in Tigray.
