Different species vary in their susceptibility to acute toxicity of aflatoxin toxicity. Semi-lethal dose values range from 0.3 to 17.9 mg / kg bw depending on the type of animal. The liver is the most affected.
Studies on farm animals have shown fibrosis of the liver with fatty aggregates and inflated bile ducts for both chickens and ducks. For pigs, hepatic foci occur in the liver with degeneration of fat and fibrosis.
Some other studies have shown that they have an effect on the spleen, kidneys and lungs where hemorrhages and bleeding occur. All research has met the occurrence of liver cancer for all farm animals, especially if taken orally aflatoxin.
Aflatoxin has a tertogenic effect as its harmful effects from mother to fetus during pregnancy lead to fetal abnormalities and death. Aflatoxin has a mitagenic effect, affecting chromosomes, causing refractions and breakdowns in the chemical structure of chromatin, defect in inheritance of traits and mutations.
It should be noted that the effects of aflatoxin histological on the body effects are not reversed, once they occur, the body can not recover from them or return to normal.
