“…In addition to the above effects, aflatoxins have been shown to contribute to reduced birth weight and teratogenic effects in livestock such as pigs and rabbits (Wangikar et al 2005). Regarding the effect on male reproduction, aflatoxins may reduce sperm quality and fertility for roosters, bulls, mice, and rabbits (Hafez, Megalla, and Mahmed 1982;Hafez et al 1983;Ortatatli et al 2002;Fapohunda et al 2008).…”

Focusing the 2015 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) on nutrition will contribute to a broader understanding of the critical role of nutrition in achieving international, continental, and national economic growth targets through agriculture, food security, and nutrition. This report presents information and analysis in support of evidence-based policy making that should inform the second generation of CAADP national investment plans now being developed. This is an important moment for shaping the region’s future and ensuring that the much-needed agriculture-led growth and development agenda can simultaneously deliver on improving nutrition, saving lives, improving productivity and health, and curbing nutrition-related diseases and the associated public health expenditures. These investment plans should address not only the usual elements of undernutrition but also widespread micronutrient deficiencies (termed “hidden hunger”) and the growing problem of overweight and obesity that is associated with economic growth.1 introduction 2 The African union policy environment toward enabling action for nutrition in Africa 3 Africa’s progress toward meeting current nutrition targets 4 Economic development and nutrition transition in Ghana: taking stock of food consumption patterns and trends 5 Making African agriculture and food systems work for nutrition: what has been done, and what needs to be done? 6 Lessons learned from the evaluation of Helen Keller International’s enhanced homestead food production program 7 The role of biofortification as part of more diverse diets in Africa: progress, challenges, and opportunities 8 The role of mycotoxin contamination in nutrition: the aflatoxin story 9 The challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned in evidence-informed decision making in Africa 10 Evaluating nutrition-sensitive programs: challenges, methods, and opportunities 11 Supporting multisectoral action: capacity and nutrition leadership challenges facing Africa 12 Tracking key CAADP indicators and implementation processes 13 Summary and policy recommendations: toward a nutrition revolution for AfricaReportPRIFPRI1; ReSAKSS; HarvestPlus; B Promoting healthy food systemsDSGD; WCAO; ESAO; HarvestPlus; PHND; A4NH; MTIDCGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH

“…Rabbit is considered as one of the most suitable and sensitive animal model for studying the teratogenic potential of a chemical (World Health Organization, 1993). Wangikar et al (2005) showed that AFB 1 was found to be teratogenic in rabbits when given by oral route during gestation days 6-18 and the dose of 0.1 mg/kg could be considered as the minimum oral teratogenic dose. In this study the mean fetal weights were significantly reduced and the gross anomalies observed included wrist drop and enlarged eye socket whereas, skeletal anomalies were agenesis of caudal vertebrae, incomplete ossification of skull bones and bent metacarpals.…”

“…AFB 1 toxicity also caused damage to other tissues, such as the kidney, testicles, brain and thyroids (Lakkawar et al, 2004). The teratogenic effects of AFB 1 on rabbits were described as enlarged eye sockets and enlarged fetal livers (Wangikar et al, 2005a) and the dose of 0.1 mg/kg BW was considered to be the minimum oral teratogenic dose (Wangikar et al, 2005b).…”

Rabbit meat constitutes a measurable portion of the human diet. Thus, the ingredients used in rabbit feed and their contamination with undesirable substances are fundamentally important both in terms of the quality of the meat and the potential human health impacts associated with the animal-based food-production chain. The inclusion of feed ingredients which are contaminated with toxic substances may have a range of biological or toxicological effects on animal production. Rabbit feed ingredients that constitute complete feed products are derived from different raw materials and the contamination of feed materials would represent an important potential hazard. This review summarizes some of the toxic effects of mycotoxins, such as afl atoxins, ochratoxin, citritin, patulin, trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, diacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 toxin), zearalenone, fumonisins, moniliformin and fusaric acid.
