This study was conducted to investigate the interaction of aflatoxin and vitamin D3. The 336 broiler chicks (Hubbard) of mixed sex were allocated to triplicate 8 (2 x 4 factorial) treatment groups. The 0 or 0.5 ppm of aflatoxin B1 (AFB) and 0, 500, 1,000 or 1,500IU/Kg of vitamin D3 (VD) were supplemented to the basal diet. After 3 weeks of feeding period the blood and organs were collected from 2 chicks of each sex per group. The Ca content in serum increased when AFB was fed (p0.01). The Ca of serum increased according to the increasing level of VD. However, no significant differences were found among groups fed different levels of VD. The interaction between AFB and VD was recognized (p0.05)
