DISCUSSION:It has been found that the addition of 3 ppm Aflatoxin to a standard

feed for broilers, caused dramatic lesions to most of the organs of the chicks exposed to the toxin, without any protection (Group B). The lesions found in liver, kidney, spleen, thymus and bursa of Fabricius were significantly more severe in Group B than in Group C.

In fact, in Group C, not only the lesions that were found were of less severity, but, in most of the cases were concentrated to one bird.

Carcasses of birds of Group B showed clear signs of micro-haemorrhages and evident bruises, to the extent that 20 birds were rejected (11%) at Carcass grading. A1 grading in Group B was 28% lower than in Group A and 26% lower than in Group C.

Feed consumption and the final body weight of group C were similar to the ones of Group A.

Group B mortality was 5 times higher than in the other two Groups.

Plasmatic levels of calcium were similar in Groups A and C, while Group B showed a remarkable decrease, thus confirming a direct influence of Aflatoxicosis on calcium metabolism.

NOT ALL GLUCOMANNANS ARE THE SAME !

• Prior to their inclusion into CAPTEX-T2, Doxal’s Esterified Glucomannans are treated by Chitinase, an enzyme which is able to reduce, dramatically, their chitin content.

• Chitin content is supposed to increase the alkali insolubility of β-glucans and to decrease the cell wall flexibility, so that the toxin molecule has a restricted access to the complexing chemical sites.

The Journal of Food Protection (Volume 67, Number 6, 1 June 2004, pp. 1195-1200(6)) reports an assay carried out by ,Yiannikouris A. et al., which title is: “Adsorption of Zearalenone by -D-Glucans in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cell Wall”;

Safety for the Environment:Eubacteria are found as one of the major groups of bacteria in the digestive tract of livestock and humans and so are naturally occurring within the environment.Although little is known about the specific ecology of strain DSM 11798 it would be expected to behave as any other eubacteria and, as a strict anaerobe, would not be expected to survive in the wider environment.

Five rabbits were primed by administering 1mg of emulsified conjugate in 20 sites on both shaven flanks under the volume of 0.1 ml intradermallyy. Rabbits were boostered 21 days later by an intramuscular injection of 0.25 mg conjugate emulsified in Incomplete Freund’s Adjuvant (IFA).

Ten days after the last booster injection blood was harvested by the intracardiac route and the antibody level determined by ELISA.
