Mycotoxins can affect human health directly or indirectly (food
chain). The mycotoxin causes human illness by acting as
immunosuppressive and carcinogenic agent when ingested with
different food items. Mycoses are the best-known diseases of fungal
etiology and its toxic secondary metabolites also cause important
health hazards. Thus, it concludes that mycotoxins pose an
important risk factor to human as well as animal health. This study
will help in better understandings about effects of mycotoxins on
birds' health. The present study was designed to investigate
pathological and immunosuppressive effects of aflatoxinB1 (AFB1)
and Ochratoxin A (OTA) in broiler chicks. Study was conducted on
270 broiler chicks. After exposure of mycotoxin, kidney and liver
showed significant increase in weight. Serum alanine
aminotransferase and total serum proteins were significantly
increased and decreased, respectively. Serum urea and creatinine
were significantly increased after exposure. This all increased
their susceptibility to infections. This study suggested that AFB1
& OTA show synergistic effects in developing different
pathological changes in the body of chicks.
