Wheat flour (two samples), poultry feed, maize flour, gram meat and peanut were analyzed for the detection of mycotoxins and found to be heavily contaminated with Penicillium and Fusarium spp. Aspergillus was found only in one of the wheat flour samples. Thin layer chromatography of chloroform extracts of these samples showed that aflatoxin G1 was detected only in wheat flour samples while T2 toxin was found only in gram meal. The toxicity of food and feed extracts was also determined by using brine shrimp larvae where poultry feed was found to be highly toxic.
