| The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hydrate sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS; Detox®) in binding aflatoxin (AF) and ameliorating their mycotoxicity in meat type duck diets. Measurement the growth performance and pathology by HSCAS were supplemented to 60 or 120 ppb AF contaminated diets at either 0.10 or 0.20%. Body weight gain were reduced by 21.45% and mortality was increased by 7.50% in duck fed diet contaminated with AF at 120 ppb compared to duck fed control diet (30 ppb AF) for the 4 wk experimental period. However, dietary HSCAS supplementation effectively alleviated overall toxicity induced by AF. The significant treatment-related changes in feather growth, eye necrosis, web-toe hemorrhage, leg deformity, tibia bone porosity,... |
