Abstract :
The aim of this study was to determine aflatoxin, zearalenone (ZON) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in some feed and feedstuff samples obtained from several farms and animal feed manufacturers in Turkey. A total of 106 samples (76 feedstuffs and 30 feeds) were analyzed by HPLC method. In samples of feedstuffs, ZON occurred at a high incident rate, however, AFG1 and G2 had a lower incident rate. In feed samples, although AFB2 and G2 occurred at a low incident rate, ZON had a higher incident rate. The data obtained in this study showed that toxin levels in feed and feedstuff samples were lower than maximal allowed levels.
