Exposure to Subclinical Doses of Fumonisins, Deoxynivalenol, and Zearalenone Affects Immune Response, Amino Acid Digestibility, and Intestinal Morphology in Broiler Chickens by Revathi Shanmugasundaram, Laharika Kappari, Mohammad Pilewar, Matthew K. Jones, Oluyinka A. Olukosi, Anthony Pokoo-Aikins, Todd J. Applegate, Anthony E. Glenn

“…Higher mycotoxin groups T2 to T6 had a reduction in the digestibility of amino acids methionine (<i>p</i> < 0.05), aspartate (<i>p</i> < 0.05), and serine (<i>p</i> < 0.05); a reduction in CD4+, CD8+ T-cell populations (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and an increase in T regulatory cell percentages in the spleen (<i>p</i> < 0.05); a decrease in splenic macrophage nitric oxide production and total IgA production (<i>p</i> < 0.05); and upregulated cytochrome P450-1A1 and 1A4 gene expression (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Birds fed the lower mycotoxin concentration groups, T7 and T8, did not have a significant effect on performance, intestinal health, and immune responses, suggesting that these concentrations pose the least negative effects in broiler chickens. …”
