Molecular characterization of gliotoxin-producing in dairy cattle feed.

Background And Aim: Several strains of produce mycotoxins that affect the health and productivity of dairy cattle, and their presence in dairy cattle feed is a serious concern. This study aimed to determine the densities of and gliotoxin in commercial dairy feed.

Materials And Methods: More than 60 dairy feed samples were examined for fungal contamination, specifically for , using phenotypic approaches and DNA sequencing of the () and β-tubulin regions.
