Effect of adding Toxisorb Premium, vitamin E, glucosamine, and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae to contaminated rations with aflatoxin B1- on aflatoxin B1 concentration in the liver and eggs of laying hen

Abstract

This study was conducted to demonstrate effect of adding Toxisorb Premium, vitamin E, glucosamine, and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae to contaminated rations with aflatoxin B1- on aflatoxin B1 concentration in the liver and eggs of laying hen. One hundred sixty Brown Lohman laying hens were used, all hens were distributed randomly into eight treatments, each treatment had 4 replicates, each replicator has 5 chickens were distributed in cages after dividing them into 32 pens. This experiment was conducted for twenty weeks (140 days), first treatment (T1) was an essential diet without addition, and it was considered as control group, (T2) was an essential diet with aflatoxin added at a concentration of 2 mg/kg feed, (T3) was a standard diet with an Toxisorb Premium added at a concentration of 4 g/kg feed + 2 mg aflatoxin, (T4) was a based diet with added vitamin E at a concentration of 300 mg/kg feed + 2mg aflatoxin, (T5) was a base diet with glucosamin 100 mg/kg feed +2 mg aflatoxin, (T6) was a basic ration with added Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (SC) 4 g/kg feed +2 mg aflatoxin, (T7) was a basic ration with added mixture of (Toxisorb Premium + vitamin E + (SC)+ aflatoxin) with concentration of 4 gm + 300 mg + 4 g + 2 mg / kg feed respectively, The second group was significant increase competed with ( first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth groups) in residual aflatoxin B1 in the liver and eggs, The residual aflatoxin toxins in the liver and eggs were (10.7 and 4.6 ppm) respectively. We concluded from this study that the feed additives reduced aflatoxin B1 concentration in the liver and eggs and increased the cells’ resistance to eliminating these toxins.
