Mycological and mycotoxicological analysis of many feeding stuffs and complete mashes for different animal species and categories have showen that the feed safety problem has been present for years. It is approved that mouldy feed can contain various mycotoxins, but among them in our conditions the most investigated are aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone and some trichotecenes. Based on laboratory feed inspection of samples sent to be analysed at the Institute of Veterinary Medicine of Serbia in Belgrade it was concluded that fungi and mycotoxins contamination are common. Primarily presence of zearalenone, ochratoxin and aflatoxin was proven. Although these levels usually do not exceed limits layed by actual legislation, having on mind cumulative effects and possible chronical exposure of animals to their harmful influence, appropriate and competent approach is necessary. In fact, even when direct losses, as consequence of high mortality are not present, indirect losses due to drop of animal performances and production and occurrence of secondary infections must not be neglected.
