Effect of aflatoxin residue on chicken egg quality of layer chickens in lamongan district east java province
This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of aflatoxin residue on chicken egg quality of layer chickens in the district of Lamongan, East Java Province, Indonesia. Aflatoxine is the result of secondary metabolism produced by fungus Aspergillus flavus, well known as maize contaminates, the main ingredient of chicken feed. When layer chickens consume aflatoxine-contaminated feed, the aflatoxine residues on eggs will also cause decreasing of egg quality.
