The co-contamination of feed samples with mycotoxins/metabolites of varying concentrations suggests possible health risks to the broiler industry. Various analytical methods were applied for the detection of mycotoxins in commercial poultry rations, HPLC was more useful for the detection of aflatoxin fragments. Broiler birds feed on higher mycotoxins ration showed depression, ruffled feathers, friable liver with extended bile ducts, and enlarged kidneys with urates and asities in addition to very bad performance and histopathological changes. While the addition of some feed additives (HASCS, yeast, probiotics, and zinc) to the mycotoxin’s rations explains a highly protective effect against these mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are very difficult to remove from contaminated commodities, so continuous monitoring is essential, and efficient protective product strategies are needed to deal with such outbreaks. From the result of the present work, it can be concluded that the use of protective role food additives silica, biological, yeast extracts, and probiotics has a protective effect against hepatotoxic and nephrotic effects of aflatoxins in broiler chicks.
