Abstract
White New Zealand male rabbits fed for 9 weeks on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1, at levels of 0, 25, 50 or 100 ppb) supplemented with day or silica (at levels of 0, 0.5 or 1% of each). AFB1 (50 & 100 ppb) caused clinical symptoms (weakness, emaciation, diarrhea, fever, felt fur, and nervousness), gross pathology (enlarged <U+2013> congested liver, inflammation of kidneys, congested heart and lungs, stomach atrophy, enlarged gall bladder, and internal hemorrhage), lower performance (decreased body weight and body weight gain), changes in carcass composition (lower muscular protein and higher muscular fats), residues (in liver > muscles > heart > kidneys), alterations in hematology (decreased hemoglobin, packed cell volume and red blood cells count) and biochemistry of rabbits blood (decreased glucose and cholesterol but increased transaminases, uric acid, urea, and creatinine) in addition to histopathological changes in liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs. The dietary supplementation of 0.5% clay or 1% silica reduced the negative effects of AFB1 by rabbits.
