Abstract
Abstract: The objective of this work was to determine the correlation of the physical attributes of corn and the mycotoxins present in its grains with the severity of tongue lesions in broiler breeder roosters. The occurrence of the aflatoxin, vomitoxin, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, and fumonisin mycotoxins was detected in the corn grains used in the feed formulation for breeder chickens. The percentages of moisture and broken grains were positively correlated (Pearson’s correlation) with the presence of aflatoxin. Milder lesions (grade 1) are positively correlated with aflatoxin and negatively correlated with fumonisin, and the most severe lesions (grade 3) are positively correlated with vomitoxin, fumonisin, and T-2 toxin.

The most important mycotoxicoses in breeder chickens are caused by aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, T-2 toxin, and diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), and fewer cases of poisoning are caused by vomitoxin and deoxynivalenol (DON)

Summary
Severidade de lesões de língua em frangos de corte associada à qualidade do milho em rações. The objective of this work was to determine the correlation of the physical attributes of corn and the mycotoxins present in its grains with the severity of tongue lesions in broiler breeder roosters. The aflatoxin, vomitoxin, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, and fumonisin mycotoxins were analyzed in the damaged corn grains selected during physical classification.
