Potential of a lactobacilli probiotic to counteract the toxic effects of Fusarium mycotoxins

A total mixed feedstuffs naturally contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins in which DON was the major contaminant (1.4 mg/kg) was fed for 24 days to 16 weaned piglets randomly assigned to one of the four treatments: (1) control group, (2) contaminated group, (3) probiotic group (50 g/pig/ds) and (4) c...

Summary:A total mixed feedstuffs naturally contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins in which DON was the major contaminant (1.4 mg/kg) was fed for 24 days to 16 weaned piglets randomly assigned to one of the four treatments: (1) control group, (2) contaminated group, (3) probiotic group (50 g/pig/ds) and (4) contaminated plus probiotic group; they were assessed for performance, serum biochemistry and some of innate and acquired immune response.
