Overview

Analysis reveals total aflatoxin contamination in dairy cattle feed, indicating serious risk factors in Ethiopia.

Key Points

  • Aflatoxins pose significant risks to dairy safety, affecting both livestock and consumer health.
  • Mean total aflatoxin concentration was 8.84 µg/kg, with 22.4% of samples exceeding the Ethiopian limit.
  • Analysis of 143 feed samples from northern Ethiopia used a Competitive Lateral Flow Immunoassay system.
  • These findings highlight a critical need for regulatory measures and farmer education in Ethiopia.
