  • Examination of perinatal toxicosis caused by the fumonisin B1 mycotoxin in newborn piglets = Proučevanje perinatalne zastrupitve z mikotoksinom fumonizin B1 pri novorojenih pujskih
    Tóth, A. ...
    Three pregnant sows were fed a diet mixed with Fusarium moniliforme fungal culture from the 107th day of pregnancy. Two of the sows were given 300 mg fumonisine B1 toxin daily for a further 7 days ... after parturition, i.e. 14-16 days in total, while the third sow was given this dosage only until parturition, i.e. for a period of 7 dazy. Directly following parturition and before the first suckling two piglets from each sow were slaughtered. Subsequently after 24 hours two more piglets which had had access to colostrum were taken from each sow, slaughtered and processed, followed by two more per sow on the 7th day after parturition. The results obtained appear to corroborate that fumonisin B1 toxin present in a F. moniliforme culture fed to sows in the advanced stages of pregnancy can harm foetuses while still in the uterus. Of the disorders characteristically caused by this toxin, pulmonary oedema of particular severity was observed in the piglets slaughtered immediately after parturition, before suckling could take place. These disorders could still be observed in piglets slaughtered 24 hours after parturition and on the 7th day. No change indicating pulmonary oedema was observed in the lungs of the piglets of the third sow, slaughtered on the 7th day.
