Cyclopiazonic acid in combination with aflatoxins, zearalenone and ochratoxin A in Indonesian corn

Mycopathologia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The mycotoxin, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), was detected at concentrations as high as 9 ppm in 21 of 26 corn samples from a Bogor poultry feedmill. This is the first demonstration of the natural occurrence of CPA in Indonesia. CPA was always accompanied by other mycotoxins, especially aflatoxins, suggesting that the interactive toxicity of these mycotoxins to poultry should be investigated.
