[Paraclinical research on broiler chickens treated with aflatoxin B1 and microbiological studies of the meat and liver obtained from them].

Studied were some paraclinical indices of the blood of 50 broiler birds treated with aflatoxin B1. It was found that the effect of the mycotoxin used in concentrations of 25.0 and 37.5 micrograms in the course of thirty days and in conc. of 50.0 micrograms in the course of five days with three test groups of birds (as compared to a group of controls) consisted in the drop of total protein and the rise of the activity of GOT, GPT, and total bilirubin. It was demonstrated that the use of feeds containing aflatoxin B1 had a bearing on the microbiologic status of the meat and liver. There was no increase in the total count of aerobic mesophile organisms.
