Studies on the influence of combined administration of ochratoxin A, fumonisin B1, deoxynivalenol and T2 toxin on immune and defence reactions in weaner pigs.
In weaners, combined administration of fumonisin, deoxynivalenol and T2 together with ochratoxin A in quantities expected to be present in feeds of central European origin resulted, as a rule, in changes identical to those observed after single administration of ochratoxin A. Such reactions were partly compensated. Synergistic amplification of immunosuppressive changes due to the simultaneous intake of these mycotoxins in low concentrations is not to be expected.
