MYCOTOXICOSIS IN BIRD

Abstract

The article discusses mycotoxicosis of poultry, a non-infectious disease caused by the consumption of feed containing mycotoxins produced by microscopic mold fungi. Particular attention is paid to sources of feed contamination, the role of storage conditions and procurement technology in the development of mycotoxicoses, as well as their impact on the health and productivity of poultry. The stages of disease development, characteristic clinical manifestations in various forms of the course (acute, subacute, chronic), preventive measures and features of veterinary and sanitary assessment of contaminated meat are presented. The complexity of therapy and the need for feed quality control at poultry enterprises are also considered.
