| Abstract: | Minimal moisture content for growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus in mixed feeds was studied. Minimal moisture content for growth is 16.51%+/–0.45. Very low amounts of aflatoxins are accumulated at days 1 or 2 after the growth started when the initial moisture content of the mixed feed was 17% or lower; on the other hand, significant amounts of aflatoxin are detected when it was 18% or higher. |
