An over Review on Effect of Aflatoxin in Animal Hus- Bandry

چکیده
Aflatoxins are defined as difuranocyclopentanocumarines/ difuranopentanolidocumarines this contains a dihydrofuran or a tetrahydrofuran ring. One of the most important effects of post harvest decays of fruits, vegetables and especially of seed and feed deterioration by fungi is the produce of mycotoxicoses. This is a disease of animals and humans following consumption of feeds and foods invaded by fungi that produce toxic substances called mycotoxins (Agrios, 1978; Moss, 1989). Aflatoxins are a family of closely related secondary metabolites produced by fungi viz., Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus which are not indispensable to the fungi’s life but show toxic effects on human beings, animals, plants and microorganisms.

Aflatoxins are highly toxic compounds that are produced as secondary metabolites by some Aspergillus and Emericella species. Despite huge progress on aflatoxin research during the past 50 years, we have witnessed many cases of food contamination with aflatoxins all over the world. Aflatoxins have mutagenic and carcinogenic effects and they are capable of inducing hepatocellular carcinoma in hum...
