Antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in animal production have been related to the increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria. The AGP ban in many countries has highlighted the growing need for alternatives for feed additives. Considering the non-antibiotic anti-inflammatory theory of AGPs, chicks received three different doses of sodium salicylate (SS) in feed (10, 30, 90 mg/kg), basal diet (BD) was used as a negative control, and zinc bacitracin (ZB) was used as a positive control.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the effects of hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) on reducing serum aflatoxin B (AFB) levels in pigs that were fed AFB.
- - Twenty-four pigs were divided into four groups receiving different diets over 21 days, with some groups receiving HSCAS and others receiving AFB.
- - Results showed that HSCAS significantly lowered serum AFB-lysine levels, and AFB-lysine could potentially serve as a useful biomarker for assessing dietary interventions against aflatoxin toxicity in pigs.
