چکیده

Ž . The absorption, metabolism, and excretion of dietary aflatoxin B AFB by trout given 1 1 different diets were compared. Fish were fed one of two diets: an AFB contaminated basal diet or 1 the contaminated basal diet with 2% sodium bentonite. Urine, feces, and gill excretions were collected and analyzed separately over a 7-day test period. On completion of the feeding trials, the fish were euthanized for chemical analysis of body fluids and major organs. Total organ loads as Ž . low as 0.05 ng AFB were quantified through the use of tritium H labeled AFB coupled with 1 1 chloroformrmethanol extraction, oxygen bomb combustion and liquid scintillation counting of samples. Results demonstrated that 2% dietary bentonite supplementation blocked intestinal absorption of dietary aflatoxin, reducing liver and kidney aflatoxin loads by at least 80"10%, and increasing the amount of AFB found in the feces about 470"20%, compared to control fish 1 not fed bentonite. AFB or metabolite concentrations in urine increased daily for 6 days for both 1 groups, but were always significantly lower in the bentonite-fed group. On average, insoluble aflatoxin metabolites accounted for 40%–60% of the total aflatoxin load in tissues, indicating a Ž . high percentage conversion to an adduct that binds to protein or other materials in the tissues and is not extracted by solvents. All data indicate that 2% bentonite contained in trout diets contaminated with 20 mgrkg AFB significantly reduces the amount of AFB absorbed from the 1 1 digestive system following ingestion of contaminated diets. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Mycobiota and aflatoxin B1 contamination of rainbow trout (Oncorhinchus mykiss) feed with emphasis to Aspergillus section Flavi

  In the present study, mycobiota and natural occurrence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in pellet feed and feed ingredients used in a feed manufacturing plant for rainbow trout nutrition was investigated. The samples were cultured on the standard isolation media for 2 weeks at 28 ºC. Identification of fungal isolates was implemented based on the macro- and microscopic morphological criteria. AFB1 was d...

Efficacy of Montmorillonite Clay (NovaSil PLUS) for Protecting Full-Term Broilers from Aflatoxicosis

Contamination of poultry feeds by aflatoxin is a problem faced by poultry producers at one time or another. Of the several strategies used to reduce the economic effect of aflatoxincontaminated feeds, the inclusion of selective enterosorbents may be the most practical and cost effective. This study evaluated the effectiveness of montmorillonite clay (MC) supplied as NovaSil PLUS on the performa...

Aflatoxin Toxicity Reduction in Feed by Enhanced Binding to Surface-Modified Clay Additives

Animal feeding studies have demonstrated that clay additives, such as bentonites, can bind aflatoxins in ingested feed and reduce or eliminate the toxicity. Bentonite deposits are found throughout the world and mostly consist of expandable smectite minerals, such as montmorillonite. The surfaces of smectite minerals can be treated with organic compounds to create surface-modified clays that mor...
