Abstract

Allcroft and Carnaghan1 and de Iongh et al.2 reported the appearance in milk of a compound related to aflatoxin B1, and Allcroft et al.3 showed by thin-layer chromatography and ultra-violet studies that a similar factor appeared in the urine of sheep given mixed aflatoxins. Holzapfel et al.4 isolated the urinary compound and established that it was aflatoxin M1 (Fig. 1).
