Abstract:Totally, one hundred and sixty 1-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were fed with a diet containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 )/kg of feed for 21 days.

Relative liver weights increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner, and relative spleen weights were significantly hig… Show more
