The efficacy of zeolite and yeast in prevention of aflatoxin toxicity in broiler chicken

A study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of zeolite and yeast, single and compound with other as inhibitor of aflatoxicosis in broilers. A total of 360 seven-day old broiler chicks with uniform average body of both sex were divided into four equal treatment group A: (control), group B: % 0.5 yeast, group C: % 1.5 zeolite, group D: % 0.5 yeast plus % 1.5 zeolite. This study was conducted to assess the production parameters in chicks fed 200 ppb aflatoxin plus inhibitory compounds. Addition of inhibitors in the diets significantly diminished the effects of aflatoxin on performance.
