Abstract
Experimental mycotoxicoses were induced singly and in combination in 48 turkey
poults (Beltsville small white) for a period of 0 to 13 weeks by feeding diets containing 100
ppb AF and 1 ppm T-2 toxin. Sera samples were collected from each group at the end of 49th
and 91st day of trial to study the effect of certain serum biochemical parameters. The toxin
fed birds revealed significant (P<0.05) reduction for serum total protein, albumin and
globulin, serum glucose while no significant (P<0.05) differences were observed in the A/G
ratio between the control and mycotoxin treated groups. The serum AST, ALT, ALP and
serum lipase levels revealed significant (P<0.05) increase in the toxin treated groups when
compared to the control. There was a significant (P<0.05) increase in the uric acid level,
decrease in the serum creatinine and no significant differences in BUN between the control and
mycotoxin treated groups. The calcium and phosphorus levels revealed significant (P<0.05)
decrease between the control and mycotoxin treated groups while, calcium/phosphorus ratio
showed no significant difference between the control and toxin treated groups.
