In this paper we present a comprehensive overview of the sector and discuss the available
evidence of impacts of aflatoxin on animal health and productivity for the region. We hope
that the establishment and sharing of this knowledge base will provide the foundation for
policies and programs to address the food safety issues linked to aflatoxincontaminated
feeds. This is a necessary step in realizing the full economic potential of
the livestock industry for the East Africa region.
