The basic toxical properties of fumonisins
Journal Title: Бюлетень "Ветеринарна біотехнологія" - Year 2017, Vol 31, Issue
Abstract
Introduction. Feed is highly contaminated with the fungi of the genus Fusarium in Ukraine. But there is no any monitoring program for the Fusarium fungi detection that able to produce fumonisins in feed.The goal of the work was to summarize and systematize data of scientific literature on basic properties and toxic effects of fungi of the genus Fusarium that able to produce fumonisins.Material and methods. Data of home and foreign scientific literature (articles, monographs), normative documentation.Results of research and discussion. One of the most dangerous species of fungi is the fungi of the genus Fusarium. Microscopic fungi Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium verticilliodes are producers of a variety of mycotoxins, in particular fumonisins. They are considered to be the most toxic representatives of this group as they have ability to cause a pronounced pathological process in most animals. These substances are polar, well soluble in water. Their acceptable daily intake in food products are determined up to 2 μg/kg of body weight. The level of fumonisin concentration, when its toxic properties are manifested, varies in different farm animals.Conclusions and prospects for further research. Thus, according to the literature, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium verticilliodes which are fungi producers of fumonisins registered most often. All kinds of animals and humans are sensitive to the toxins of this group.In contrast to the European legislation, currently monitoring of fodder for the fumonisins contamination in Ukraine is not carried out, their maximum permissible levels of mycotoxins and degree of danger for animals and poultry are not regulated yet, therefore it is necessary to develop such regulations and guidelines for the implementation into laboratories controlling feed quality and livestock products.We plan to continue our work on monitoring fumonisins in feeds, and develop a regulations for their detection based on international standards.
