Abstract

Four groups of 16 cyclic sows were fed with 50, 100, 500 or 1000 μg zearalenone per kg feed for 10 days. Afterwards the genital organs were examined routine histologically and lectinhistochemically. Alterations of the lectin binding pattern of the glandular and surface epithelial cells was seen in all four groups, while the routine histology often showed normal results by the two lower concentrations. Macroscopically detectable organ alterations were seen only in the two groups with the highest concentration steps, but not constantly. Clinical symptoms of hyperestrogenismen were very seldom seen.
