Abstract

Determination of the contamination of the ochratoxine A in feeds and feedstuffs into the different animal enterprise in TurkeySummary: This study was examined the ochratoxin A contamination in feeds and feedstuffs which are used in public and private farm and feed mill in Turkey between [2001][2002][2003][2004]. For this purpose ELISA (enzyme linked immunoassay) kit (Neogen, USA) was used. 115 feedstuffs and 84 feeds which are collected from different regions of Turkey, were examined for ochratoxin A contamination and 111 of them (55.78%) (1.10-975.00 µg/kg) were given possitive results. The OA contamination was found as 47.82% (1.10-874.10 µg/kg) for feedstuffs samples, 27.27% (4.90-24.30 µg/kg) for poultry feed and 80.65% (1.10-975.00 µg/kg) for ruminant feeds. As a result, ochratoxin A contamination was more in feed from Marmara region within the feeds obtained from all region of Turkey.
