INTRODUCTION
The analysis of mycotoxins in feed is a promising tool for identifying and quantifying the mycotoxin challenge that animals face. Additionally, the characterization of mycotoxin biomarkers in biological matrices such as liver offers precise and valuable insights into their actual exposure. Mycotoxin contamination can severely affect vital organs and animal antioxidant status, requiring the use of anti-mycotoxin solutions to counteract their effects. The solutions that contain natural extracts with a high antioxidant capacity, are introduced as new nutritional strategies for the mitigation of the mycotoxin’s detrimental effects in animal nutrition.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel liquid anti-mycotoxin solution (LS) administered through drinking water, based on a specific combination of natural extracts from grape and olive (Vitis Vinifera and Olea Europaea), on the hepatic bioavailability of mycotoxin biomarkers and the antioxidant status in broilers chickens.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
RESULTS
CONCLUSIONS
The results demonstrate that the liquid anti-mycotoxin solution (LS) stimulates the hepatic detoxification of TeA, increases the antioxidant cellular capacity, which contributes to enhanced flock health, provoking an improvement in the productivity as is observed in the increase of FCR. Therefore, the liquid anti-mycotoxin solution (LS), formulated with grape and olive extracts, effectively mitigates mycotoxin exposure and their harmful effects on health.
