Occurrence of aflatoxin and its economic impact on human nutrition and animal feed : the new regulations
Mycotoxin contamination of foods and feeds has recently gained much attention worldwide due to its adverse effects on human and animal health, and consequent national economic implications. The focus of surveillance programmes has shifted to multi-mycotoxin surveys, particularly with respect to cereal grains. Reports from various countries have highlighted the co-occurrence of aflatoxin with other mycotoxins such as fumonisin. Mycotoxin contamination has had a considerable economic impact on the foodgrain and livestock industry. Major losses have been reported in the groundnut industry. Poultry and swine production have been affected by mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, fumonisin, and zearalenone. Exports of agricultural commodities-particularly groundnut and its products-from developing countries have thus dropped considerably in recent years, resulting in major economic losses for producing countries
