An outbreak of aflatoxin poisoning in dogs associated with aflatoxin B1–contaminated maize products

Abstract: Abstract. An aflatoxicosis outbreak affected 65 dogs from 9 different farms after they were fed diets with cooked corn meal as a common ingredient. Of the dogs, 60 died. Numerous dogs died on additional farms, but those dogs were not included in the study. The farmers acquired the contaminated maize products, in the form of whole corn grain or as corn meal, from the same supplier. The corn product was mixed with meat that was left over from home or commercial rations to form corn polenta, which was fed to the … Show more

“…Apesar de não ter sido confirmada a aflatoxicose em seis casos, as lesões semelhantes e o tipo de alimento oferecido aos animais permitiu o diagnóstico presuntivo da mesma. Aflatoxicose tem sido descrita em cães alimentados com subprodutos de milho (Wouters et al 2013), com rações comerciais (Rosa et al 2002, Stenske et al 2006) e, também, com farelo de amendoim (Newberne 1973), que era o principal alimento em um dos casos aqui descritos. A aflatoxicose confirmada pela análise do alimento oferecido aos cães representou 0,12% dos diagnósticos realizados em cães enviados para necropsia ou em órgãos de cães mortos enviados para exame histológico no LRD/ UFPel de 1978 a 2012.…”

“…Casos coletivos de aflatoxicose são relatados com frequência e chamam atenção principalmente pelo número elevado de animais que morre em consequência da intoxicação, geralmente com evolução aguda ou subaguda (Newman et al 2007, Dereszynski et al 2008, Arnot et al 2012, Wouters et al 2013. No presente trabalho o caso avaliado do surto apresentou-se, também, com lesões agudas.…”
