Combination of Anti-Mycotoxin Additive in Diet Contaminated with Multiple Mycotoxins (Aflatoxin, Fumonisin, Zearalenone and Deoxynivalenol): Effects on Performance and Health of Lambs.

ABSTRACT: During the grain and cereal production process, whether during harvesting, processing, or storage, errors can occur, compromising product quality and potentially leading to contamination by fungi, which produce toxic substances known as mycotoxins. When fed to animals, these contaminated grains and cereals can cause several negative effects on animal health, impacting their production performance, including immunosuppression, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and reproductive problems. To minimize the problems caused by mycotoxins, anti-mycotoxin additives, also known as adsorbents, are used. These are inert materials that bind to mycotoxins and are excreted in feces, preventing their action within the animal's body. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of
