Acceptability and pathological changes in organs of rats fed wheat contaminated with a mixed culture of Aspergillus and Penicillium species.
Mouldy grains can cause problems with pathological changes in vital organs. This investigation involved histological studies including the occurrence of fungal conidiospores in organs of rats fed wheat contaminated by the addition of a mixed culture of Aspergillus and Penicillium spp.
