Abstract

Aflatoxins are one of the most dangerous mycotoxins in livestock and cause hepatotoxic, immunosuppressive and carcinogenic effects. The paper presents a review of the current literature on strategies for detoxification of aflatoxins in farm animals. Sorbents (zeolite, HSCAS), hepatoprotectors, antioxidants and probiotics are discussed. According to literature data, their complex use reduces the release of aflatoxin M₁ in milk by an average of 30–60%, improves feed conversion and reduces indicators of functional liver damage. An integrated approach is an effective tool for both animal health protection and food safety.
