Efficacy of hydrate sodium calcium aluminosilicate and yeast cell wall to ameliorate the toxic effects of aflatoxin in ducks

Abstract

The aim of the present experiment was to evaluate the efficacy of a hydrate sodium calcium aluminosilicate and yeast cell wall (Fixar® Viva Dry) to prevent aflatoxin toxicity in meat-type ducks. In total, 336 1-day-old Cherry Valley ducks were randomly assigned to seven dietary groups, including of three diets without adsorbent. These included <30 (control), 60 and 120 μg/kg of aflatoxin in the diet and 60 or 120 μg/kg of aflatoxin supplemented with Fixar® Viva Dry at either 0.05% or 0.10% in the diet. Each treatment group was duplicated, with 24 birds per pen (replicate) throughout the 28-day trial period. The results showed that, bodyweight gain was reduced by 11% and mortality was increased by 10% in ducks fed diet containing aflatoxin at 120 μg/kg, compared with the control diet. However, dietary Fixar® Viva Dry supplementation effectively alleviated the overall toxicity induced by aflatoxin. Significant negative treatment-related changes were observed in feather growth, eye necrosis, web-toe haemorrhage, leg deformity, tibia bone porosity, liver paleness and fat content, organ weight and serum biochemical characteristics, as well as decreased leaked enzymes in blood serum, compared with the control. Addition of Fixar® Viva Dry in the diet significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the adverse effects of aflatoxin on all parameters measured, near to those in the control group. This finding indicated that Fixar® Viva Dry, when added at the level of 0.05% in 60 μg/kg or of 0.10% in 120 μg/kg aflatoxin diets, could modulate the toxicity of aflatoxin. In conclusion, these results showed that Fixar® Viva Dry 0.05% was effective in preventing the toxic effects of aflatoxin that may be present in poultry diets.

“…Atualmente, vários tipos de adsorventes COMO componentes da parede celular de levedura (TANPONG et al, 2017), polímeros sintéticos (colestiramina, polivinilpirrolidona) (AVANTAGGIATO et al, 2005), substâncias húmicas (SABATER-VILAR et al, 2007), fibras dietéticas (AOUDIA et al, 2009), minerais de argila (JIANG et al, 2012;SANTOS et al, 2011) e carvões ativados (DIAZ et al, 2002;SABATER -VILAR et al, 2007) foram amplamente estudados para a adsorção de diferentes tipos de micotoxinas.…”

The Effect of Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate on Fatty Liver and the Composition of the Intestinal Microbiota in Overfed Landes Geese

“…Because the use of antibiotics in food animals for growth promotion and disease prevention may lead to antibiotic resistance in humans and animals, several countries have restricted the use of antibiotics in livestock feed as a public health measure (Salim et al, 2013). The beneficial effects of dietary HSCAS have been recognized for the last three decades (Tanpong et al, 2017), and it may serve as an alternative to antibiotic growth stimulants without clinical side effects (Gilani et al, 2016). Although their nutritional properties have been widely studied in animals, to date, few reports are available on goose liver changes in response to OF.…”

Efficient Adsorption of Deoxynivalenol by Porous Carbon Prepared from Soybean Dreg

“…The adsorbent and mycotoxin are combined and discharged from the intestine without any of the side effects usually related to mycotoxin [ 24 ]; hence, adsorption has become one of the most commonly used methods of mycotoxin removal [ 25 ]. Various adsorbent materials have been extensively studied, including activated carbon [ 26 ], minerals [ 27 ], dietary fiber [ 28 , 29 , 30 ], clay minerals [ 31 ], chitosan [ 32 ] and yeast cell walls [ 17 , 33 ]. In general application, however, multiple mycotoxins are often simultaneously present in contaminated food or feed, and the toxic effects of any single mycotoxin may be amplified by synergistic effects with other mycotoxins [ 34 , 35 ].…”
