Effects of ochratoxin a on some production traits, lipid peroxide and glutathione redox status of weaned piglets

Abstract: The effect of feeding ochratoxin A (OTA) contaminated diet (379.6 and 338.1 µg/kg in starter and grower diets) on production traits, lipid peroxidation and some parameters of the glutathione redox system were investigated in weaned piglets over a seven-week period. Feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) did not differ significantly, but in the first phase (0-28 days) the daily weight gain was significantly lower in the piglets fed the OTA-contaminated diet. Lipid peroxidation, as measured by the amount of… Show more

“…In the present study, the exposure of piglets (E2 group) to mycotoxins mixture did not influence the performance of animals (27.83 ± 1.1 vs 27.09 ± 1.3 for body weight and 1.48 ± 0.9 vs 1.40 ± 0.8 for feed intake) and biochemical parameters when compared to control. Similarly, Balogh et al [61] reported that piglets fed with approximately 0.4 mg/kg of OTA during the starter (0-28 days) and grower (29-49 days) period did not register significantly changes in the production traits and clinical signs of toxicity in the grower phase. In contrast, a significant decrease of body weight gain was observed during the starter period when the animals were more sensitive.…”

“…Trichothecenes are the most studied group of Fusarium mycotoxins and have been implicated in many cases of mycotoxicoses in animals and humans (Placinta et al, 1999;Dönmez and Keskin, 2008). The trichothecenes are recognized as having inhibitory effects on cells, including inhibition of protein, DNA and RNA synthesis, interference with cell-membrane integrity, and induction of apoptosis (Balogh et al, 2007;Weber et al, 2010).

“…Also, the rate of lipid peroxidation increased in different tissues as a result of feeding a mycotoxin-contaminated diet containing AFB 1 or T-2 toxin (Surai et al, 2002) and ochratoxin A (Balogh et al, 2007), which reduces the efficiency of the biological antioxidant defence system.…”
