Negative Effects of Occurrence of Mycotoxins in Animal Feed and Biological Methods of Their Detoxification: A Review

Molds that grow on grains and feed produce toxic substances called mycotoxins that can seriously harm farm animals, causing liver and kidney damage, reproductive problems, and reduced productivity. While proper storage and farming practices help prevent contamination, some mycotoxins still get through. Recent research shows that beneficial bacteria like those in yogurt and certain yeasts can effectively remove these toxins from animal feed, making it safer for livestock while protecting the environment from harmful chemicals.

Removal of Aflatoxin B1 by Edible Mushroom-Forming Fungi and Its Mechanism

This research discovered that edible mushroom varieties, particularly Bjerkandera adusta, can remove harmful aflatoxin B1 poison from food and animal feed. The mushroom fungi work by binding the toxin to their cell structures, acting like a sponge that soaks up the dangerous chemical. This natural method is safer and more practical than chemical or heat-based approaches because it doesn’t damage the nutritional value of food while making it safer to eat.
