ABSTRACT

 

Mahmoudi R, Norian R., Aflatoxins in ruminant feed and milk, Onl J Vet Res., 29 (2): 65-75, 2025. Aflatoxins in milk and dairy products are the result of contaminated feed. We took 280 milk and feed samples for analysis of aflatoxin AFM1 by ELISA. We found that 163 milk samples (56.59%) had 0.013 to 0.226 ppm AFM1 higher than maximum tolerable limit of 0.05 ppb.  Mean AFM1 contamination levels in milk in summer were 0.080 and winter 0.183 ppb. The AFB1 contamination level in the winter feed of2.27±1.76 higher (P < 0.05) than summer 0.836±0.60. Our findings suggest AFM1 in milk is correlated to AFB1 in feed.
