Sk. Jand et Pp. Singh, MYCOTOXIN DETECTION IN POULTRY FEEDS AND RAW-MATERIALS EMPLOYING DIFFERENT METHODS, Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 65(8), 1995, pp. 918-920
Samples (332) of poultry feeds and raw materials were screened for myc
otoxins: 66.8% revealed different mycotoxins from 50-1000 ppb. Mycotox
ins detected from the samples in decreasing order were aflatoxins, och
ratoxins, citrinin and sterigmatocystine, either alone or in combinati
on. Bright greenish yellow (BGY) fluorescence, pressure minicolumn (PM
C), thin layer chromatography (TLC) and multiple screening methods wer
e used for mycotoxin detection. Pressure minicolumn (PMC) and thin lay
er chromatography methods were more sensitive than the other methods.
