Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium

in three age categories (3–9, 10–17 and 18–64 years), obtained from a national food consumption survey. Furthermore, a risk characterization was performed for CIT, in which no intake values exceeded ...

Carry-over of some Fusarium mycotoxins in tissues and eggs of chickens fed experimentally mycotoxin-contaminated diets

at a very low degree, thus marginally contribute to the total dietary intake of these fusariotoxins for consumers. Nevertheless, taking precautionary measures in the field, harvest, transport and ...

Veal Calves Produce Less Antibodies against C. Perfringens Alpha Toxin Compared to Beef Calves.

of antibodies against these toxins in 528 calves on 4 beef and 15 veal farms. The second study aimed to determine the effect of solid feed intake on the production of antibodies against alpha toxin and ...

Human biomonitoring of multiple mycotoxins in the Belgian population: Results of the BIOMYCO study.

compared between subgroups and urinary mycotoxin concentrations differed significantly among age and gender. Based on the urinary levels, the daily intake of DON and OTA was estimated and evaluated whereby, ...

Potential impact of fertilization practices on human dietary intake of dioxins in Belgium.

scenario. Increases in human dietary intake of dioxin are estimated to be lower than 1% for conventional rearing methods (i.e. grazing animals are reared outdoor while pigs and poultry are reared indoor). ...

Effect of coated and non-coated fatty acid supplementation on broiler chickens experimentally infected with Campylobacter jejuni.

lower in chickens fed coated MCFA than in those fed non-coated MCFA. No effect of MCFA on feed intake or growth of chickens was observed. In conclusion, (i) MCFA are active against C. jejuni and (ii) the ...

A dynamic model to calculate cadmium concentrations in bovine tissues from basic soil characteristics.

and soil Cd concentrations, and (2) bovine intake calculations, based on typical feed and water consumption patterns for cattle and Cd concentrations in feed and drinking water. The output of the ...

The impact of naturally-occurring, trans-placental bluetongue virus serotype-8 infection on reproductive performance in sheep.

(4) the presence of antibody at birth in viable lambs prior to the intake of colostrum (n=9). The evidence provided by this investigation strongly suggests that trans-placental BTV-8 infection occurs in ...

Transfer of soil contaminants to home-produced eggs and preventive measures to reduce contamination.

lead in eggs, i.e. the soil, was identified by transfer calculations of the pollutants from the feed and soil towards eggs. Preventive measures to reduce soil intake or geophagy and hence egg ...
