Aflatoxin B2

Aflatoxin B2 is a mycotoxin produced by certain moulds, especially Aspergillus species. It is usually linked to contaminated food or feed, such as grains, nuts, seeds, or stored feed where mould has grown. Aflatoxin B2 is often assessed together with other aflatoxins because it can help show whether there has been broader exposure to mould contaminated ingredients. Higher findings may be relevant when there are signs such as reduced appetite, low energy, vomiting, diarrhoea, weight changes, or poor general condition. The result is best understood together with possible mouldy feed exposure, symptoms, and the wider mycotoxin profile. A finding may be useful to review with a veterinarian, especially if symptoms are present.
