Aflatoxins in Animal Feeds, Milk and Milk Products: Methods of Detection, Prevention, and Mitigation

This book offers a detailed analysis of research findings and literature on aflatoxins—harmful compounds produced by fungi that can contaminate animal feed, milk, and dairy products.
It serves as an important reference for educators, food safety experts, researchers, students, livestock industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and government officials involved in dairy and feed management.

Readers will gain valuable knowledge on preventing fungal growth and reducing aflatoxin contamination to improve feed quality, protect animal health, and ensure the safety of dairy products.

Divided into five main sections, the book discusses key topics, including the properties of aflatoxins, their contamination in feed and dairy products, factors affecting the transfer of aflatoxin B1 to M1, detection methods for aflatoxin M1 in milk, and strategies for prevention and mitigation.
