Abstract
The effects of the levels of aflatoxin B (0, 50 & 100 ppb) for 15 and 30 day culture durations have been investigated in common carp, Cyprinus carpio fingerling in indoor plastic tanks. No mortality was observed in any of the treatments. Significant differences were found in 100 ppb treatment group in all three growth parameters, i.e., total weight gain (WG, g), average daily weight -1 -1 gain (ADG, g d ) and specific growth rate (SGR, % d ) compared to those of control and 50 ppb treatment groups. The 100 ppb treatment group had, respectively, 2.25-, and 2.23-folds higher FCR (%) than did the control and 50 ppb treatment groups. Both body muscle and liver in 100 ppb treatment group had significantly higher concentration of aflatoxin B (AFB) residues of than in the 50 ppb treatment. Control did not have any residue. However, in both sampling durations, residue in the body muscle and liver had declining trends. The results of this study suggest that the level of contamination by 50 & 100 ppb aflatoxin B in the feed of advanced common carp fingerlings may affect growth and concentrates in the body muscle and liver at a level
