Abstract Artificially contaminated corn containing 200 ?g/kg total aflatoxins was treated with ammonia solution under varying ammonia concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%), moisture contents (18% added), different layer thickness of corn (1, 2, 3 and 4 cm), four different temperatures (25, 40, 50 and 60oC), different time of ammoniation (6, 24, 36 and 48 hr), and as well different times of agitation (6, 8 and 12 hr). Results indicate that total aflatoxin content of artificially contaminated corn was reduced from 200 to 15 ?g/kg. Clinicopathologic changes included decreased serum total protein (TP), increases serum bilirubin concentration, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). |
