| Abstract | ||
| Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate (HSCAS) and Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cell wall (YCW) were evaluated for their ability to reduce the deleterious effects of aflatoxin (AFT) on broiler performance. They were incorporated singly or in combination into a diet containing total AFT 211.88 µg / kg feed . No significant changes was recorded in all tested parameters ,body weight ( BW ), body weight gain ( BWG) , feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ( FC) ratio during starter period . In growing period ,treated groups showing significant elevation in some recorded parameter , that in contrast with each other or with control groups . In finisher periods , however no detectable pattern for changes was recorded , but the group which treated with HSCAS only showing significant depletion in both BWG and FI , while that treated with it in AFT- contaminated diet showing significant elevation . The same significant elevation was recorded in BW ,BWG and FI for groups which treated with YCW , while liver weight of this groups was significantly decreased in relation to other groups .The highest mortality rate was recorded in group treated with AFT only , and that which treated with AFT and YCW . The highest level of aflatoxin residue in litter of broiler was recorded in litter of group which treated with HSCAS singly, while the lowest was in group treated with YCW only. The levels of micro-elements Al , As , Cd , Pd , Se , Cu, Fe ,Mn, Zn and macro-elements k , Na ,Mg in broiler litter of different tested groups were also affected . The present study concluded that, no clear improvements in the tested parameters were recorded after the the contaminated diets were incorporated with the tested dose of HSCAS and YCW , singly or in combination ,during aflatoxicosis . Also , in part , focused the unwanted behavioral of adsorbents in animal production, and submitted that the using of this materials in animal feed must be restricted , because of its unknown undesired effects , as well as its indirect dangerous effect in livestock. | ||
