Key Findings
- The study, conducted in Algeria, found that ENN B1 was the most common mycotoxin in poultry feed, detected in 9 out of 10 samples
- BEA was found in only one feed sample, while no mycotoxins were detected in any of the egg samples
- The absence of mycotoxins in eggs suggests that the mycotoxins in feed did not transfer to the eggs, possibly due to the use of mycotoxin binders in the feed
