Abstract

The study examined effect of two adsorbents on the toxicity of Deoxynivalenol (DON) in growing pigs in a feeding trial. 24 male growing pigs (average initial body weight 11.5 kg) were assigned to one of six dietary treatments: control (uncontaminated diet); control + 0.5% adsorbent I; DON contaminated diet (1.73 mg/kg); DON contaminated diet + 0.5% adsorbent I; control + 0.5% adsorbent II and DON contaminated diet + 0.5% adsorbent II. Two digestibility trials were conducted on the second and fourth week of the feeding period with a sampling period of 7 days to determine the digestibility of the nutrients and the amounts of DON in faeces and urine. At the end of the experiments, the pigs were slaughtered, followed by blood haematology and biochemi analys. These data suggest that the addition of 0.5% modified yeast cell wall or a combination of modified yeast cell wall and bentonite to the naturally DON — contaminated diets reduce the effect of DON on the immune system of pigs but do not play an significant role in detoxification of DON in growing pigs.
