Responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed diets containing different concentrations of moniliformin or fumonisin B1

Responses of Nile tilapia in terms of growth, histological anomalies, and biochemical changes to subchronic and toxic concentrations of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and moniliformin (MON) were evaluated under controlled environmental conditions. Nile tilapia fingerlings (2.7 g) were fed diets containing 0, 10...

Description
Summary:Responses of Nile tilapia in terms of growth, histological anomalies, and biochemical changes to subchronic and toxic concentrations of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and moniliformin (MON) were evaluated under controlled environmental conditions. Nile tilapia fingerlings (2.7 g) were fed diets containing 0, 10, 40, 70, 150 mg/kg of either FB1 or MON for 8 weeks. These mycotoxins were obtained from Fusarium moniliforme or Fusarium proliferatum culture materials, respectively. Among tilapia fed diets containing MON, fish fed either 70 or 150 mg MON/kg diet had significantly (P
