Driven by the observation that the mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) often contaminates cereals and feed in this European region, the aim of the study was to compare the accumulation of OTA residues in different pig tissues exposed to sub-chronic treatment. The treated animal group (n = 5) was administered 300 μg OTA/kg of feed during a 30-day period, whereas the control group (n = 5) was left untreated. OTA concentrations were quantified using high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FD) that had shown acceptable validation results when it comes to all investigated tissues, with mean recoveries spanning from 88.2% to 96.1% and acceptable mean inter- and intra-day relative standard deviations ( |
