Chronic effects of aflatoxins may be reducing the efficiency of swine production unit by decreasing the immune response leading to increased susceptibility to disease and increased mortality, and decreasing resistance to stress. The individual pig's response to aflatoxin is affected by many factors, but age is especially important with the younger pig much more susceptible to damage than older pigs. The greatest problem with aflatoxins in the United States appears to be in the Southeast and is associated mostly with corn and cottonseed meal. Management factors are important in the prevention and reduction of aflatoxins in feed. A simple quantative test for aflatoxins has been developed for field surveys of suspected feed and a decontamination process has also been developed.
黄曲霉毒素的慢性影响可能会降低养猪场的生产效率，因为它会降低免疫反应，导致猪对疾病的易感性增加、死亡率上升，还会降低对压力的抵抗力。个体猪对黄曲霉毒素的反应受多种因素影响，但年龄尤为重要，幼猪比成年猪更容易受到损害。在美国，黄曲霉毒素最大的问题似乎出现在东南部，并且主要与玉米和棉籽粕有关。管理因素对于预防和减少饲料中的黄曲霉毒素很重要。已经开发出一种用于疑似饲料现场检测的黄曲霉毒素简单定量检测方法，还开发了一种去污工艺。
