Prevention of mycotoxin effects in dairy cows by adding an anti-mycotoxin product in feed

The main objective of this work was to assess the impact of using an anti-mycotoxin product on liver function,milk production and reproductive performances of dairy cows subjected to a high risk of mycotoxins. the evaluation criteria consisted of liver function tests including total blood proteins,urea,total bilirubin and transaminases activities. they also include an assessment of different fertility parameters,milk production and milk somatic cell counts of individual treated and non-treated animals. as compared to the control cows,results of these investigations showed that the anti-mycotoxin product significantly improved liver function and reproductive parameters of treated cows. additionally,the production and the quality of milk,as tested by its somatic cell numbers,were improved. the observed positive effects may,most probably,be explained by the important binding properties to mycotoxins of the clay and the inactivated bacteria and yeasts used as ingredients of the anti-mycotoxin mixture. © 2017,university of mohammed premier oujda morocco.
