ABSTRACT
Aflatoxins commonly found in animal feed are aflatoxins B1 and B2 produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of aflatoxins in corn feed given natural additives. This study used a combination of treatments P0 (corn), P1 (corn + zeolite 1.2%), P2 (corn + galactomannan 1.2%), and P3 (corn + herbio 1.2%). The variable observed was aflatoxin levels in corn combined with additives using UV (ultraviolet) light exposure. The result of this study showed that the aflatoxin levels in the P0 treatment were 38 ppb, P1 20 ppb, P2 44 ppb, and P3 treatment 14 ppb. The conclusion of this study showed that the aflatoxin content of corn feed did not exceed the maximum limit of the standard quality (SNI) requirement of 50 ppb.
