Naturally occurring aflatoxicosis is described in goats fed a concentrate mixture containing polkudumeal (defatted residue from grated coconut after juice extraction). Toxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavuswere present in the concentrate and aflatoxins were recovered from the liver and urine of affected animals. Hepatic lesions in poisoned goats consisted of bile duct hyperplasia and periportal fibrosis; renal lesions included necrosis of tubular epithelial cells and proteinaceous exudation in the glomerular space. Similar lesions were produced experimentally in goats with aflatoxin and with coconut cultures of A flavus. High doses of aflatoxin B1produced, in addition, hepatic centrilobular congestion, haemorrhage and periportal fatty change. |
