This paper addresses approaches for assessing potential human health hazards from the presence of natural toxicants, such as mycotoxins, in animal food products. At high levels in feed these mycotoxins may cause loss or illness of farm animals, through development of animal toxicoses, such as aflatoxicosis. At lower levels in feed these mycotoxins may have no apparent effect on livestock production, but their residues and related substances may move up the food chain. This indirect intake of mycotoxins and related substances from the consumption of animal food products may pose a health hazard to humans. These health hazards are compared to the possible health hazards from the direct intake by humans of cereal and other food crops that may contain mycotoxins.
本文探讨了评估动物食品中天然毒素（如霉菌毒素）对人类健康潜在危害的方法。饲料中霉菌毒素含量过高时，可能会引发动物中毒，如黄曲霉毒素中毒，导致农场动物死亡或患病。饲料中霉菌毒素含量较低时，可能对家畜生产没有明显影响，但其残留物和相关物质可能会进入食物链。通过食用动物食品间接摄入这些霉菌毒素和相关物质可能会对人类健康构成危害。将这些健康危害与人类直接摄入可能含有霉菌毒素的谷物和其他粮食作物所带来的潜在健康危害进行了比较。
