The contamination of poultry feed with fungi and mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, toxin F-2, ochratoxin A and toxin T-2), was studied in 1987, in Slovenia (Yugoslavia). Of the 306 studied samples, 21.2% did not meet the hygiene requirements stated in the law. Ninety-three samples were tested mycotoxically and 6.5% proved positive. Toxin T-2 (4 or 2 mg/kg of feed) caused a reduction in the growth rate. Antitox VANA (2.29/kg of feed with 2 mg of toxin T-2) did not stop its toxic effect. Smaller quantities of toxin T-2 caused diphtherial changes at the same time. Haematological and biochemical blood indicators were within normal boundaries, except for the number of leucocytes. After an anatomicopathological examination of poultry, the following has been found: diphtherial changes of the labial cavity, gastritis and duodenitis.
