ABSTRACT
This research was carried out to monitor the occurrence of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2)
in unpacked rice (50 samples) and cattle feed (60 samples). These samples were analyzed using TLC
& ELISA techniques. 30% rice samples showed aflatoxins (AFTs) in the range of 1-20 ppb while
10% samples showed AFTs above 20 ppb. For cattle feed, AFTs detected in the range of 1.9-20.4 ppb
in maize, 9.6-28.5 ppb in corn, 9.8-27.3 ppb in barely, 5.4-21.3 ppb in hay samples and 6.7-28.5 ppb
in silage samples. The contaminated samples were treated for detoxification. The detoxification
promised by specific natural compounds like sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, Allium sativum and black
seed oil were from 63-100%. The foods contaminated with AFTs are toxic for human health. High doses
of AFTs can be the major cause of liver diseases like cirrhosis, liver cancer and death in humans and
animals.
