INEFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT ADSORBENTS IN ALLEVIATION OF ORAL LESIONS INDUCED BY FEEDING T-2 TOXIN IN BROILER CHICKENS

One hundred and forty one-day-old-male broiler chicks (Ross), were divided into 7 groups (20 chicks/group) and fed T-2 toxin alone or with five different types of adsorbents; Montmorillonite 0.5%, Vermiculite 0.5%, Pigacine 0.5%, Gezilgure 0.5%; and the resin Perlite 0.5%. Gross and microscopic examinations reveal that all adsorbents used were unable to alleviate the oral lesions induced by T-2 toxin in broiler chickens.
