The incidence, geographical distribution and levels of aflatoxin B1 on stored hay batches in Kars province of Turkey

Hayvan yemleri içinde Aflatoksin B l (AFB1), hayvanlar ve böylelikle insanlar için önemli toksik oluşumlardan birisidir. Bu sebepten dolayı, ot yığınlarında AFB l'in İnsidensi, coğrafi dağılım ve düzeyleri araştırıldı. Yeni ve eski ot örnekleri Kars ilinin farklı yörelerinden toplandı. Bölgede AFB l İnsidensi yeni ve eski otlarda sırasıyla % 33.08 ve % 59.26 idi. Köyler arasında AFBl'in homojen coğrafi dağılımı gözlendi. Yeni ve eski ot yığınlarında AFB1 miktarları sırasıyla 16.93+1.24 ve 30.13+1.45 ppb idi. İlçelerin ortalama değerleri arasında istatistiksel önemli farklılıklar bulunamadı.

Türkiye'nin Kars ilinde stoklanan kuru ot yığınlarında aflatoksin B1'in insidensi, coğrafik dağılımı ve düzeyleri

Aflatoksin Bl (AFB1) in animal feed is one of the major toxic substances for animal and thus for human health. Therefore, the incidence, geographical distribution and levels of AFB 1 in hay batches were investigated. Hay samples from new and old ones were collected from different geographical locations in the Kars province. In the region, the incidence of AFB1 in new and old hay samples were 33.08% and 59.26%, respectively. Homogenous geographical distribution of AFB 1 was observed among the villages. The amounts of AFB 1 in new and old batches were 16.93+1.24 and 30.13+1.45 ppb, respectively. No significant differences were detected among the mean value of towns.
