INTRODUCTION
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) represents the predominant mycotoxin that negatively impairs broilers health and production. The detrimental effects on health described in this species involve intestinal damage, oxidative stress and altered immune system (Sarker et al., 2023). Thus, the mitigation of those detrimental effects is essential to ensure animal welfare and production.
OBJECTIVE
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an anti-mycotoxin agent (AMA), containing selected binding material combined with natural extracts and yeasts, in improving animal performance and mitigating the intestinal epithelium damage induced by AFB1 in broilers chickens.

RESULTS
CONCLUSIONS
The innovative anti-mycotoxin agent containing selected binding material combined with natural extracts and yeast, enhanced animal performance and improved the gut integrity in broiler chickens challenged by AFB1.
