The samples were collected from poultry farms, feed manufac turers and markets. Ninety one (91%) maize samples and forty two (84%) poul try feed samples were found to contain fumonisin B-1. Fumonisin B-1 contami nation in the maize samples ranged from 0.1-87.0 ppm. Whereas the poultry f eed samples contained fumonisin B-1 in the range of 0.02-28.0 ppm. It indic ated widespread prevalence of fumonisin B-1 in maize and poultry feeds in d ifferent areas of Haryana.
