Naturally Occuring Hazards: Aflatoxin Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by three types of mold: Aspergillus flavus‚ Aspergillus parasiticus‚ and Asperilligus nomius (more rare). Aspergillus flavus is common and widespread in nature and is most often found when certain grains are grown under stressful conditions such as drought. The mold occurs in soil‚ decaying vegetation‚ hay‚ and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and invades all types of organic substrates whenever

called aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a carcinogen that has been shown to cause liver cancer in rats (and‚ presumably‚ in humans). The amounts given to the rats in the study were highly concentrated‚ of course‚ with the express intent to study the effects of acute aflatoxicosis. You won’t be getting a couple grams of aflatoxin with every bag of peanuts or anything‚ so acute aflatoxicosis isn’t a big issue for people – at least in the US. That’s not to suggest that correlations between aflatoxin ingestion

B was fed with vitamin E and selenium along with aflatoxin B1 mixed feed‚ group C was fed with vitamin E and aflatoxin B1 mixed feed‚ group D was fed with selenium and aflatoxin B1 mixed feed and group E was fed only aflatoxin B1 mixed feed while group A was kept as control. The study was conducted for three weeks and concluded that vitamin E and selenium in combination can act as immunomodulator even then the birds were challenged with aflatoxin B1. Keywords: Mycotoxicosis‚ vitamin E‚ selenium immunmodulator

Dr. GEORGE ROMBO Cholera This is an infection of the small intestine caused by bacterium vibrio cholera. Transmission is mostly from the fecal contamination of food and water that is caused by poor sanitation Susceptibility About 100 million bacteria must typically be ingested to cause cholera in a normal healthy adult. Children are also more susceptible with 2- 4 year old having the highest rates of infection Individual susceptibility to cholera is also affected by their blood type with

Maize (Zea mays Linn.) belongs to the Andropogoneae grass tribe of the family Gramineae. The grass originated 55-70 million years ago then subsequently diversified to include all the major cereal crop species in addition to nearly 10‚000 non-domesticated relatives (Pechanova and Pechan ‚ 2015). Maize is one of the most grown crop in the world which is highly recognized for its nutritional properties and as a source material for industrial purposes. In the Philippines‚ maize is the second most important

temperate weather of the tropical countries where temperature‚ humidity and moisture favour the growth of fungal organisms‚ which in turn produces the mycotoxins in different types of feeds and their ingredients‚ both in field and during storage. Aflatoxins are the commonest amongst mycotoxins and are secondry metabolites produced by some strains of toxigenic fungi viz. Aspergillus Flavous and Aspergilleis parasiticus. These toxic metabolites produced by moulds naturally in cereals and animal feed
