Abstract


The survey has shown that there are possibilities for the presence of mycotoxins in various foods and feed. It becomes essential that proper post harvest handling, drying and storage of commodities is practiced to prevent mould growth. There is a need for disseminating the knowledge on the harmful effects of mycotoxins and the possible dangers of consuming mouldy foods. Government should establish monitoring agencies and set up laboratories for the surveillance of foods and feeds for mycotoxins.
