Aflatoxin Residues in Tissues of Growing Swine: Effect of Separate and Mixed Feeding of Protein and Protein-Free Portions of the Diet

Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, France

Abstract

AFLATOXIN B₁, B₂ and M were detected in liver, gall bladder, spleen, heart, muscle and kidney of growing swine when protein and protein-free portions of the diet were separately fed. The protein portion contained a peanut meal naturally contaminated with aflatoxins. A mixture of the protein and protein-free portions resulted in no detectable residue in the one pig autopsied. No adverse effects on live weight gains and gain/feed were visible by this feeding procedure, as compared to the separate feeding technique.
