Effects of dietary citrinin and aflatoxin on leg problems of broilers growtn on wire floors.
Dietary levels of citrinin of 62.5, 125 and 500 mug./g. diet or aflatoxin at a dietary level of 2.5 mug./g. of diet fed from 1-21 days of age did not inccrease the incidence of leg problems compared to control groups receiving no dietary nycotoxins. These data indicate that dietary contamination with these toxins does not account for the incidence of occasionally observed leg probelms in younger broiler chicks.
