Opis

Aflatoxins are a group of most toxic mycotoxins considerable interest in aquaculture, agriculture, livestock communities. The problem of using contaminated fish feeds by aflatoxin exerts a negative economic impact on relevant commerce as well as severe health problems as they remain as residues in animal tissues, thus affects the human metabolic system on being consumed. This shown the serious effects of aflatoxins on liver,kidney, gills of fish in aquaculture. Our study aim to introduce a safe novel cheap by-product as a nutrient for fish with high biological impact and to investigate the use of fungi degraded date pits (FDDP) in diminution of hepatotoxicosis that occurred in oreochromis niloticus during aflatoxicosis. We proved that aflatoxin G1 intake lead to hepatotoxicity through stimulation of oxidative stress and inflammation. FDDP as a new fish diet came from date waste product treated with safe fungi represented as an excellent effect in the reduction of hepatotoxicity induced by AFG1 through its anti-oxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory power. FDDP diet could be used as a supplement in commercial diets in aquaculture with low costs and high biological impact on fish status
