The effect of experimental long-term exposure to low-dose zearalenone on uterine histology in sexually immature gilts.

The objective of this study was to determine whether long-term (48-day) oral administration of low-dose zearalenone (ZEA) resulted in changes in uterine histology in sexually immature gilts. The study involved 12 clinically healthy 2-month-old gilts with a determined immune status. The animals were randomly divided into two experimental groups (E1, n=4; E2, n=4) and a control group (C, n=4).
