  • Title: Minimal moisture content for growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus in mixed feeds.
    Author: Moreno Romo MA, del Carmen Ramos Cartagena M, Rodriguez Ferri EF, Suárez Fernández G.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1986 Sep; 95(3):145-8. PubMed ID: 3773977.
    Abstract:
    Minimal moisture content for growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus in mixed feeds was studied. Minimal moisture content for growth is 16.51% +/- 0.45. Very low amounts of aflatoxins are accumulated at days 1 or 2 after the growth started when the initial moisture content of the mixed feed was 17% or lower; on the other hand, significant amounts of aflatoxin are detected when it was 18% or higher.
