Changes of the activities pancreatic enzymes and development of inflammation as a responses to experimentally mycotoxicosis in broiler chicks
The experiment was performed on broilers (cross "Smena-8") with duodenum fistula. It was found that dietary T-2 toxin tends to accumulate quantitatively within the body while the accumulation of HT-2 toxin up to 65 % depending on its dietary concentration. No significant changes in the activities of pancreatic enzymes in serum in response to dietary exposure to the mycotoxins were found while amylolytic and proteolytic activities in the duodenal digesta were significantly increased. The concentrations of serum nitroso compounds evidenced that the exposure to mycotoxins can promote inflammation in chicken.
