    Examination of 93 samples of animal feed and feed ingredients for the presence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and T-2 toxin has been carried out. These samples were collected from four feed mills and 17 farmers of milk producer in Bursa region, Turkey, and analyzed by competitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) technique. AFB1 and T-2 toxin were determined in all samples of dairy cattle feed (except one of them for T-2 toxin), fattening feed, fawn feed, broiler feed, rice bran, rice grain, barley-wheat grain, maize and dry distiller grain soluble (DDGS), soya meal and sunflower meal. The highest levels detected for AFB1 and T-2 toxin were 431.90 µg/kg in a sample of maize and 131.00 µg/kg in a sample of rice bran, respectively. The mean levels of AFB1 have shown that the feeds and raw ingredients of samples may lead to some toxic effects for beef cattle, broiler, fawn, dairy cattle, and human because of the conversion of AFB1 in dairy cattle feed and feedstuffs to aflatoxin M1, and aflatoxin M1 secrete into milk.
