Description of the research topic:
Above the tolerable level mycotoxin contamination of animal feeds results in depressed production and aids to – mainly complex etiology – diseases. Fumonizines occur in corn World-wide, therefore in course of feeding corn based diets the exposure is likely inevitable. In pigs FB1 causes primarily pulmonary oedema, however, it has not been clearly explored if the toxin affects the structural and functional properties of the digestive system.
The scopes of the PhD program are the following:
- evaluation of the effect of dietary FB1 content on the ileal and total tract digestibility of nutrients, as well as the digestible and metabolizable energy content of the feed in weaned piglets. In the course of studies the digestibility of macronutrients (crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, starch, ash), amino acids and trace minerals are in focus.
- whether dietary FB1 content influences the structural and functional properties of the intestine, morphology of different segments of the gut epithelia and the gut permeability ex vivo.
- Evaluation of the absorption kinetics of FB1 in ex vivo studies.
