Deoxynivalenol damages the intestinal barrier and biota of the broiler chickens.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the livestock feed industry, feed and feed raw materials are extremely susceptible to mycotoxin contamination. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the main risk factors for mycotoxin contamination in broiler feed and feedstuff, however, there is still little knowledge about this. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore the toxicity effect of DON on the intestinal barrier and the microecological balance of the biota in broiler chickens.

Results

In our present study, we compared the pathological scores of the small intestines of broilers on the 5^th, 7^th, and 10^th day, and chose the 7^th day to analyze the small intestine histomorphology, tight junctions, and cecal biota of the broilers. The results showed the damage t
