“…There are reports of livestock being affected by aflatoxins in Australia including chickens (Gardiner and Oldroyd 1965), turkeys (Hart 1965), ducks (Bryden et al 1980), pigs (Ketterer et al 1982) and cattle . The sources of aflatoxin in these cases included peanut meals and by-products, mouldy bread and other bakery waste, and grain sorghum and maize that were stored with high moisture contents.…”

Abstract. Contaminants of man-made and natural origin need to be managed in livestock feeds to protect the health of livestock and that of human consumers of livestock products. This requires access to information on the transfer from feed to food to inform risk profiles and assessments, and to guide management interventions such as regulation or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point approaches. This paper reviews contaminants of known and potential concern in the production of livestock feeds in Australia and compares existing but differing state and national regulatory standards with international standards. The contaminants considered include man-made organic chemical contaminants (e.g. legacy pesticides), elemental contaminants (e.g. arsenic, cadmium, lead), phytotoxins (e.g. gossypol) and mycotoxins (e.g. aflatoxins). Reference is made to scientific literature and evaluations by regulators to propose maximum levels that can be used for guidance by those involved in managing contamination incidents or developing feed safety programs.

“…Toxic fungi known to occur in Australia were reviewed by Connole and Johnston (1967) and by Culvenor (1974). Occasional outbreaks of acute aflatoxicosis in this country have been reported (Gardiner and Oldroyd 1965;Hart 1965; Connole and Hill 1970; Ketterer et a1 1975; McKenzie ef af 1981), but little is known about the presence of other mycotoxins in Australia. Peanut meals and other by-products are known to be particularly prone to aflatoxin contamination (Anon 1977) but under certain conditions most commodities can support growth of toxigenic fungi. Results of surveys of mouldy feeds for aflatoxin have been presented by Baseden & Aldrick (1970), Alisauskas (1974) and Bryden et af (1975and Bryden et af ( , 1980 and a low incidence of aflatoxin contamination in maize was found by Blaney (1980) during a survey in the South Burnett region of Queensland.…”

Mycotoxins in Animal Feeds and Toxic Fungi in Queensland 1971–80

During the years 1971 to 1980, 355 samples of animal feeds submitted to this laboratory in connection with suspected mycotoxicoses were analysed for aflatoxins. Most major Queensland agricultural crops were represented. Aflatoxins were detected in 67 samples, 45 of which were peanut meals and by-products (55% of all peanut materials analysed). Of 200 Aspergillus flavus isolates cultured on maize meal, aflatoxins were produced by 49%. Ochratoxin A was detected in one sample of another 25 feeds analysed for the compound. Ochratoxin A was produced by 28% of 47 A. ochraceus isolates, and two Fusarium equiseti isolates produced zearalenone. The present situation with regard to mycotoxins and mycotoxicosis in Queensland is briefly reviewed.
