Abstract
Three hundreds and sixty male one-day-old broilers (Cobb), were distributed to three experiments, one hundred and twenty chicks for each, in order to elucidate the efficiency of 0.05, 0.15 and 0.25% Mycofix addition, in reducing the liver aflatoxin M1(AFM1) residual level in chicks fed diets contaminated with Aflatoxin at a rate of 2.5, 3.5 and 5 ppm. Chicks were reared for 28 days. At the end of the experiments, chicks were killed by cervical dislocation and livers were collected for determination of liver AFM1 residual level. Determination was performed using thin layer chromatography method. Results showed that the addition of 0.25% mycofix to the feeds contaminated with 2.5, 3.5 ppm were responsible for reducing liver residual AFM1 levels.
