    TOXICITY STUDIES OF FUNGAL ISOLATES FROM PADDY STRAW IN RATS, MICE AND CALVES
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) VEENA, K.
    Ingestion of contaminated feed, straw, etc. with toxigenic moulds causes Mycotoxicosis in animals. The mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., Fusarium spp., Trichoderma spp., Stachybotrys spp., Byssochlamys spp are very well known to affect farm animals. Contaminated raw feed ingredients with micromycetes species (fungi or moulds) is a current issue. The contamination of fungi contributes to raw feed, affects the nutritive quality, while the toxins released by these accumulate and endanger animal health and production. The toxic matter (mycotoxins) released by Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium genera forms the major risk of intoxication to farm animals.
