The occurrence and growth of molds in feed is one of the major threats to the poultry industry and causes economic loss along with various health problems. The presence of moisture is favourable for the growth of mold in feed. The problem further gets aggravated with the formation of mycotoxins which are secondary metabolites. Every year a significant quantity of the world's grain and oilseed supply is spoiled or contaminated by various mycotoxins as detailed below.
# | Mold | Toxin | Source | Target organs | General effects |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus | Aflatoxins | Corn and other cereals | Liver | Fatty/pale liver, decreased feed intake, reduction in egg production, Immune suppression |
2 | Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium verrucosum | Ochratoxin | Legumes, cereals | Kidney | Renal failure, wet litter |
3 | Fusarium tricinctum | T- 2 toxin | Wheat | Mouth & gizzard | Reduced antioxidant status, decreased feed intake and weight gain |
4 | Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum | Fumonisins | Corn and other cereals | Liver, intestine | Decreased weight gain, diarrhoea, hepatotoxicity, gasping |
5 | Penicillium citrinum | Citrinin | Wheat, oats, maize, barley | Kidney, Immune organs | Kidney damage, immune suppression, diarrhoea decreased body weight |
