Implication

Randomized trial found significant mycotoxin contamination in poultry feed, suggesting a major food safety issue.

Key Points

  • The aim was to investigate the occurrence and co-occurrence of mycotoxins in poultry feed in Punjab, Pakistan.
  • Screened 280 poultry feed samples from Lahore and Rawalpindi using thin-layer chromatography.
  • Quantified contamination levels via ELISA and confirmed positive samples with LC–ESI+–MS.
  • Analyzed prevalence rates and co-occurrence of mycotoxins.
  • 77.9% of samples were contaminated with at least one mycotoxin.
  • Prevalence rates were 79.3% in Lahore and 76.4% in Rawalpindi.
  • 42.1% of positive samples showed co-occurrence, primarily aflatoxins with fumonisins.
