Read moreMycotoxins are toxic substances produced by certain molds (fungi) that can contaminate various agricultural products, including animal feed. The presence of mycotoxins in animal feed can lead to reduced feed […]
Read moreErgot bodies, which are produced by fungi in the Claviceps genera, particularly C. purpurea, are commonly referred to as ergot. These bodies store toxic alkaloids produced by the fungi. The […]
Read moreThe important role of endotoxins in poultry production has aroused great interest in some regions. This is due to the fact that several products have been marketed in recent years that have positive effects on birds, while others have shown adverse effects on other species.
Read moreThe identification of mild to moderate gizzard erosions (GE) in more than 20- 30% of the healthy commercial broilers examined in post mortem sessions, is commonly found in several countries in the Americas and Asia.
