Diagnosis of animal mycotoxicosis i

Diagnosis of animal mycotoxicosis is based on experimental studies with specific toxins
and specific animals, very often under well-defined toxicological laboratory conditions, so
that the results of such studies can be far from real-life or natural situations. Furthermore
factors such as breed, sex, environment, nutritional status, as well as other toxic entities
can affect the symptoms of intoxication. Diagnosis is very much dependent on receiving
a sample of feed that was ingested prior to intoxication, but also on data from another
representative group of animals of the facility and the results of a post-mortem examination.
