چکیده
The effects of feeding Fusarium moniliforme culture material, containing known concentrations of fumonisin Bj (FBi), were studied in turkey poults. Day-old poults were allotted randomly to dietary treatments containing 0, 0.41, 0.82, 1.23, 1.64, 2.87, 4.10, 5.33, 6.56, and 7.79% fumonisin culture material (FCM). These levels of FCM supplied 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 175, 250, 325, 400, and 475 mg FBi/kg of feed. Each dietary treatment was fed to six pen replicates of six poults each for 21 d. Poults fed FCM that supplied 325 to 475 mg FBi/kg diet had lower (P < 0.05) feed intakes and BW gains. Increased (P < 0.05) liver and pancreas weights were observed in poults fed FCM that supplied > 175 mg FBi/kg. Poults fed FCM that supplied 400 and 475

Heavy metals that enter marine environment and remain in the water as well as the sediments are accumulated by aquatic organisms, thus becoming highly good indicators to monitor metal accumulation in the long run. Metals are potentially harmful to humans and most organisms at varied levels of exposure and absorption. Northern East Mediterranean Sea is a crucial region as it is an area, shared b...
