Different animals have different susceptibility to aflatoxins.

It's then important to have your food and feed tested for Total Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) and Aflatoxin B1.

Could your animals be at risk?

Here are some effects of Aflatoxins in Animals:

In chicken, aflatoxins can cause liver damage, reduced meat and egg production, inferior eggshell quality, inferior carcass quality, and increased susceptibility to diseases.

Aflatoxin levels in human and animal food products:

When consumed in lower amounts over a long time (chronic exposure), Aflatoxins cause severe health consequences.

We can test your food and feed for Total Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) and Aflatoxin B1.

Aflatoxins can also present a serious economic burden, causing an estimated >25% of the world’s food crops to be destroyed annually.

What are Aflatoxins?

They are poisonous substances produced when certain kinds of fungi grow on plant material. They can contaminate human and animal food products and pose a serious health risk to humans and livestock.

[Crop Nutrition Laboratory Services (Cropnuts) @Cropnuts]

Several types of Aflatoxins (14+) occur in nature but 4 Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 & G2) are particularly dangerous to humans and animals as they have been found in major food crops.

[Crop Nutrition Laboratory Services (Cropnuts) @Cropnuts]

Aflatoxins, when consumed in large doses can cause acute poisoning, severe illness, and even death, usually through liver damage, a condition known as Aflatoxicosis.

Avocado farming in Kenya and around the globe is gaining prominence due to the nutritious benefits of the avocado fruit.
But where does one start in Avocado farming?
Easy.
By carrying out a Soil Suitability Assessment for avocado farming.

[Cropnuts_agtech @CropnutsAgtech]

Soil structure plays a big role in the production and root health of the avocado tree.

Here's how to determine, in advance, the suitability of soil for avocado production and how to make the soil amendments for the avocado tree:
