Abstract

The effect of ochratoxin A in the feed on the concentration of total lipids, total proteins and albumin, and on the concentration of alpha1, alpha2, beta and gamma globulins in the blood plasma of chickens was investigated. The chickens of the control group were fed with a commercial feed, the chickens of the second group received the same feed mixed with 0.5 ppm ochratoxin A and those of the third the same feed with 5.0 ppm ochratoxin A. After 56 days the concentration of 0.5 ppm ochratoxin A provoked a higher content of total lipids and total proteins in blood plasma. The concentration of 5.0 ppm ochratoxin A in feed reduced the content of total lipids, total proteins and albumin. The concentration of 5.0 ppm ochratoxin A reduced the content of alpha1, alpha2, beta and gamma globulins in the blood plasma of chickens.
