INTRODUCTION

Mycotoxin analysis in feed is a promising tool for identifying and quantifying the challenge posed by mycotoxins that animals face. Additionally, the characterization of mycotoxin biomarkers in biological matrices, such as the liver, provides precise and valuable insights into their actual exposure. Mycotoxin contamination can severely affect vital organs and the antioxidant status of animals, necessitating the use of anti-mycotoxin solutions to counteract their effects. Solutions containing natural extracts with high antioxidant capacity are introduced as new nutritional strategies for mitigating the deleterious effects of mycotoxins in animal nutrition.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new liquid anti-mycotoxin solution (LS) administered through drinking water, based on a specific combination of natural grape and olive extracts (Vitis Vinifera and Olea Europaea), on the hepatic bioavailability of mycotoxin biomarkers and the antioxidant status in broiler chickens.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

RESULTS

CONCLUSIONS

The results demonstrate that the liquid anti-mycotoxin solution (LS) stimulates liver detoxification from TeA, increases cellular antioxidant capacity, contributing to improving group health, resulting in an enhancement of productivity as observed in the increase of FCR (feed conversion ratio). Therefore, the liquid anti-mycotoxin solution (LS), formulated with grape and olive extracts, effectively mitigates mycotoxin exposure and their harmful effects on health.
