1. INTRODUCTION
In swine production, fumonisins (FB1 and FB2) are known to induce several detrimental effects, such as celular immunosuppression, decreased weight gain, disruption of the intestinal barrier and oxidative stress. To mitigate the harmful effects of mycotoxins in contaminated feed for pigs, detoxifying agents can be added a feed additives.
AIM: to investigate the effects of an anti-mycotoxins product that contains a selected binding material and natural extracts besides an exclusive combination of yeasts, on animal performance and antioxidant status in weaned pigs challenged by FB1 and FB2.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
3. RESULTS
4. CONCLUSIONS
The anti-mycotoxins product containing a selected binding material combined with natural extracts and yeast products improved the animal performance and enhanced the antioxidant status in weaned pigs fed a diet naturally contaminated with FB1 and FB2.
