Abstract
The addition of fiveFusarium species, cultured on wheat grain, to the standart chicken diet DKA starter, caused atrophic changes in the thymus and testes, as observed in the microscopic picture of these organs. The degree of lesions were depended on theFusarium species and its amount added to the standart diet.
