In groundnut meal treated with 4% calcium hydroxide and 0.5% paraformaldehyde in an autoclave at 2 atm for 20 min aflatoxin B1 (AB1) decreased from 401 to 29.5/109. In 2 trials lasting 10 and 22 days aflatoxin M1(AM1) was less in milk of 2 dairy cows when they were given diets with detoxified meal than when they were given contaminated untreated meal. The percentage of AM1 in milk compared with AB1 intake was similar with both feeds. This abstract relates to the following species: |
