Mycotoxins Hazard Assessment of Feedstuffs from Multiple Sources Products Commercially Imported for Iraq

Contamination feedstuffs with fungi or their metabolites toxins poses considerable hazard to public health and animal welfare. The information on mycotoxins identified from a variety of feedstuff in 2021 (soyabean, maize, fish meals, poultry pellets) was retrieved archive papers documented the Centre Standardization Quality Control/Department Agriculture. A total 1325 samples were examined by this using direct ELISA test detect aflatoxins, ochratoxin, trichothecene. aflatoxin 67 (5.05%) followed ochratoxin 52 (3.92%) Trichothecene (T2) 50 (3.77) samples. Additionally, results showed co-infection/co-occurrence positive soyabean, pellet, although contamination within acceptable level. Only two feed determined have levels above limit, as 21ppb aflatoxins 19ppb contamination. moisture also measured for these commodities NIR apparatus. From statistics outputs, squared correlation coefficient (R2) did not share too much variability between degree three identified. study concluded that remain be concern global health, residues are important terms safety standards propose adhering food chain regulations commercial markets.
