“…of F-2; however, this value was not significantly different from the other two experimental groups. Speers et al (1971), without presenting actual data and working with small numbers of birds, observed a decrease in fertility of hens fed diets containing Fusan'um-infected corn. In the current study involving more than 2,800 eggs, Fusarium-mfected corn (25-100 p.p.m.…”

“…Speers et al (1971) reported that specific gravity of eggs was significantly reduced by feeding of 10% and 15% Fusan'um-infected corn; however, feeding only F-2 (250 and 500 p.p.m.) did not result in a corresponding decline in spe- Speers et al (1971) because the levels of F-2 fed, the Fusarium isolate, and methods of assessing shell quality were not the same. The percentage of fertility and that of hatchability of fertile eggs were not influenced by the addition of F-2 to the diet ( Table 1).…”

“…broilers and Japanese quail did not adversely affect early growth in these species. Speers et al (1971) reported that feeding corn infected with high levels of Fusarium roseum "Graminearum" (300-1600 p.p.m.) or purified F-2 compound did not reduce the rate of gain from 7 to 17 days of age in Leghorn chicks.…”

Diets containing either Fusarium-infected corn supplying 25 and 100 p.p.m. of F-2 (zearalenone) or purified F-2 at these levels did not adversely influence the reproductive performance of laying hens. In trial 1, no deleterious effects were observed for 20- and 36-week body weights, age at first egg, egg weight, albumen height, shell deformation, fertility or hatchability when Fusarium-infected corn was fed to 20-week-old pullets for 28 days. Percent hen-day egg production of birds fed Fusarium-infected corn supplying 25 and 100 p.p.m. of F-2 was superior (P less than or equal to 0.5) to egg production of nontreated controls. In trial 2, three replications of ten adult Leghorn hens were evaluated under five dietary treatments: (1) 16.7% protein basal; (2) basal plus Fusarium-infected corn (25 p.p.m. of F-2); (3) basal plus 25 p.p.m. of (purified) F-2; (4) basal plus Fusarium-infected corn (100 p.p.m. of F-2); (5) basal plus 100 p.p.m. of (purified) F-2. Difference between dietary treatments for 14-day pre-treatment, treatment and post-treatment periods were nonsignificant for 42- and 44-week body weights, egg production, egg weights, fertility and hatchability. Body weights of chicks from hens fed F-2 diets were not significantly different from those of chicks from hens fed the basal diet.

“…At higher levels, 300 p.p.m. to 1600 p.p.m., final body weight and average gain of female commercial Leghorn chicks showed a quadratic response to increasing dietary concentrations of zearalenone (Speers et al,, 1971). These authors also found increases in comb weight and ovary length.…”
