Value chain assessment framework – all crops and programs

21 For crops includes soil fertility and soil health (organic and inorganic fertilizers), crop management (herbicides), weed and pestmanagement (insecticides), mechanization and water management; for livestock includes feed, water and production equipment (e.g., housing,waterers)

LFD- User friendly diagnostic device

Aflatoxin detection at field level is crucial to reduce the contamination in value chain.

Antibody reacts with aflatoxin antigen giving coloured reaction. This is simple to perform, cost effective (<2$), less time consuming (<5 min) and accurate

Lateral flow immunoassay

Number and % of samples tested for AFB1 in ELISAPositive (above 20 ppb of AFB1)

Negative (below 20 ppb of AFB1)

Total

Positive (above 20 ppb of AFB1)

25 (50.00 %) 0 (0.00 %) 25 (50.00 %)

Negative (below 20 ppb of AFB1)

0 (0.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) 25 (50.00 %)

Total 25 (50.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) 50 (100.00%)

The figure in parentheses were computed based on the visual scoring of lateral flow device and quantitative data obtained for ELISA after calculation. The sensitivity of lateral flow device for AFB1 above 20 ppb in samples are 100 %; the specificity is also 100 %. The positive predictive value is 100 %. The negative predictive value is 100 %.
