dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to establish the total fungal (mould)
count in 79 commercial pig farm feed samples (42 samples for piglets, 29 samples
for fattening pigs and 8 samples for sows) collected from the Serbian feed
producers during the three-year period (2017–2019), as well as to evaluate the
percentage of contamination samples by fungi, especially species from Aspergillus,
Fusarium and Penicillium genera. Using standard mycological methods, the total
count and identification of fungi were determined. Total fungal count was ranging
from 1 × 102 to 1.41 × 105 cfu g–1 in the feed samples for piglets. Furthermore, in
the feed samplesfor fattening pigs it ranged from 1 × 102 to 2.54 × 105 cfu g–1
, and
from 1 × 102 to 1.93 × 105 cfu g–1 in the feed samples for sows. It has established
the impermissible limit of total fungal count in 3.45% and 4.76% of a feed for
fattening pigs and feed for piglets, respectively. Statistical analysis of the total
number of fungi did not establish significant differences between the examined
feed groups. Fusarium species were present in the most feed samples for fattening
pigs (65.52%), followed by the feed for sows (62.50%) and piglets (47.62%).
Aspergillus species were determined in 59.52, 58.62 and 37.50% feed samples for
piglets, fattening pigs and sows, respectively. Penicillium species contaminated the
lowest percentage of feed samples for fattening pigs (27.59%) and the highest
percentage of feed samples for sows (37.50%). In a small number of samples
Alternaria, Mucor, and Rhizopus species were identified. Based on these results, it
can be concluded that the investigation of fungal contamination is an important
indicator of a hygienic condition of feed intended for the nutrition of farm pigs. In
addition, the percentage of fungal contamination of the examined samples indicates
a potentially high risk to animal health. Due to that, a regular mycological
evaluation is necessary to assess nutritional quality as one of the fundamental
criteria for feed safety. | sr |
