Increased organ weights observed in

Increased organ weights observed in this study are characteristic of some mycotoxicoses in broilers. Increased gizzard and bursa weights have been observed in broilers fed diets containing the Fusarium mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol, and T-2. Aflatoxin, a mycotoxin
produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus, also increases liver, spleen, and kidney weights in broiler chicks. However, dietary fumonisin (93-139 mg fumonisin B1/kg) decreases liver weights in rats
