Abstract

In Vivo Assessment of Gamma Rays, Electron-beam Irradiation plus a Commercial Toxin Binder (Milbond-TX) As an Anti-Aflatoxin B1 in a Chicken Model

Highlights

  • Aflatoxins (AFs), which are secondary metabolites of various Aspergillus species, such as flavus and parasiticus, commonly pollute an extensive variety of feedstuff [1, 2]

  • Feeding Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) alone caused significant decreases in serum total protein (2.47 g/dl), albumin (2.33 g/dl), glucose (190.38 mg/dl), and total triglyceride (129.09 mmol/l), while a significant increase was found in calcium (9.58 mg/dl), phosphorus (6.47 mg/dl), uric acid (7.14 mg/dl), and lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL)-C (202.86 mmol/l), (P

  • Dietary treatment had no significant effect on creatinine and High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-C compared to the control diet (Table 3)

Summary

Introduction

Aflatoxins (AFs), which are secondary metabolites of various Aspergillus species, such as flavus and parasiticus, commonly pollute an extensive variety of feedstuff [1, 2]. Results: AFB1 significantly decreased the hematological parameters (Hematocrit in 21 and 42 d), immune response (White blood cell (WBC), heterophil to lymphocyte ratio (H/L) and sheep red blood cell (SRBC)), and blood chemical factors (glucose, albumin, total protein, and triglycerides) compared to the control diet (P
