  • Title: Aflatoxin contamination of Australian animal feeds and suspected cases of mycotoxicosis.
    Author: Bryden WL, Lloyd AB, Cumming RB.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1980 Apr; 56(4):176-80. PubMed ID: 7436918.
    Abstract:
    Aflatoxin B1 was detected in 23 of 55 Australian feedstuffs known to be either water damaged or visibly mouldy. The highest contamination was 0.7 mg/kg of feed and the mean concentration 0.14 mg/kg. Of 36 feedstuffs purchased from local manufacturers, only a peanut meal contained aflatoxin B1 (0.5 mg/kg). Eleven feedstuffs were associated with field outbreakds of animal disease and 7 of these contained aflatoxin. However, the level of aflatoxin contamination was insufficient to account for the described disease symptoms.
