Aflatoxin B₁ in Cattle Feed and Aflatoxin M₁ in Milk in Northern Nigeria: Occurrence, Feed-to-Milk Carry-Over, Health Implications and Research Gaps
Aflatoxins are toxic fungal metabolites of major food- and feed-safety concern. In dairy production, aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) ingested in contaminated feed is metabolised to aflatoxin M₁ (AFM₁), which is excreted in milk. This narrative review synthesises evidence on AFB₁ in cattle feed and AFM₁ in milk, with emphasis on No...
