How big is the threat of aflatoxins in poultry diets?

SPONSORED CONTENT

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by toxigenic strains of A. flavus and A. parasiticus. Chemically, aflatoxins belong to the bifuranocoumarin group, with aflatoxins B1 (AFB1), B2 (AFB2), G1 (AFG1) and G2 (AFG2) being the most toxic. Liver is the main organ affected by these toxins.

ANCO knowledge:3 things to know about bentonites

SPONSORED CONTENT

Bentonite can be applied in animal nutrition to adsorb toxins and reduce toxin bioavailability from contaminated feeds in the animal's gut. It is a fine clay material mined from the earth. Most bentonites are formed by the alteration of volcanic ash in marine environments and occur as layers sandwiched between other types of rocks (as can be seen in the image above).

Take the stress out of antibiotic-free feeding

SPONSORED CONTENT

The fear of loss in animal performance and profitability can make farmers and integrators apprehensive to reduce antibiotic growth promotors (AGPs) in animal diets. However, a better understanding of nutritional stressors and appropriate biosecurity measures can provide reassurance, that life and profitability will go on despite significant reductions in the use of AGPs in animal feed.
