The research aimed to evaluate the mycotoxin contamination of the fodder given in the food of dairy cows from family farms, in Ilfov County.
For pursuing the proposed purpose, 21 assays of fodder (6 assays of fibrous feed and 15 assays of concentrated feed) were gathered and analysed from farms located in the Ilfov County.
The mycotoxicological analysis was done with the ELISA imunoenzymatic test for the following mycotoxins: total aflatoxins (AF), ochratoxin A (OTA), deoxinivalenol (DON), zearalenona (ZEA) and T-2 toxin (T-2). The results obtained have been statistically processed with the help of JMP 6.0 program (SAS Company, 2005).The interpretation of the results was done after the CE Rules No. 1881/2006 and 1126/2007 regarding the admitted limits for mycotoxins in fodder and food.
The results obtained highlighted that from the total of 21 analysed assays, in 9, 52% assays (2 assays) no mycotoxin was determined, in 19, 05 assays (4 assays) one mycotoxin was determined, in 33, 3% assays (7 assays) two mycotoxins were determined, in 28, 5% (6 assays) three mycotoxins were determined, in 9, 52% assays (2 assays) four mycotoxins were determined and in 0 assays were determined five mycotoxins.
