Overview

Experimental analysis reveals optimal growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus flavus in poultry feed, highlighting the critical role of storage conditions in limiting contamination.

Key Points

  • Aflatoxin biosynthesis and fungal proliferation peaked under maize supplementation, establishing maize-based feed as an ideal medium for toxigenic Aspergillus flavus growth.
  • Peak aflatoxin b1 concentration reached 11,622.24 ng/mL in broth, whereas maximum fungal biomass measured 8.84 g during growth optimization across poultry feed isolates.
  • Analysis using the plate dilution method and hplc highlights the need for amber vials and controlled temperature to prevent the degradation of unstable aflatoxins.
