Research Progress on the Harm of Aflatoxin B1 to Poultry and Detoxification Strategies
Aflatoxin is a common mycotoxin in feed raw materials.This highly toxic substance has great harm to poultry breeding industry,which can cause decreased growth performance,immune suppression,serious liver damage,and even death,among which the most toxic is Aflatoxin B1(AFB1).There are many kinds of detoxification strategies of Aspergillus flavus,which can be roughly classified into physical,chemical and biological methods.Physical and chemical methods are simple to operate,but detoxification is not complete or cause secondary pollution;Biological method is the most promising detoxification strategy at present because of its green and efficient characteristics.This paper mainly introduced the effects of AFB1 on poultry growth performance,intestinal health and immunity,as well as the physical and chemical detoxification methods and biological detoxification mechanisms of aflatoxin,in order to reduce the impact of aflatoxin on poultry production.
