Abstract

Mycotoxins are one of the most immunosupressive factors in animal diets. It is important to consider that the consumption of certain mycotoxins, at levels that are not cause overt clinical mycotoxicosis, suppresses immune function and decrease resistance infectious disease. In this sense, mycotoxin adsorbents that are effective both in combating the damage caused by these metabolites and in protecting and supporting animal health are increasingly essential in the animal nutrition industry. It has been evaluated the effect of mycotoxin adsorbents, with different compositions, on the immune parameters in broiler chickens challenged with mycotoxins. We have utilized 300 broilers, distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replications. Three mycotoxin adsorbents with different compositions were tested, which were added 2.5kg/kg, in diets that were contaminated with 1.0 pp aflatoxin + 50.0 ppm fumonisin + 25.0 ppm DON. Evaluating a control diet without contamination (T1), contaminated diet + YES - FIX HP (T2), contaminated diet + adsorbent A (T3), contaminated diet + adsorbent B (T4). On the last day of the experimental period, blood samples were collected from eight birds per treatment for the evaluation of phagocytosis by flow cytometry and the cecal tonsils were collected and determined the expression of interleukin 6 pro-inflammatory (IL 6) and interleukin 10 anti-inflammatory (IL 10) by quantifying the gene expression by RT-qPCR. In the phagocytosis assay, a significant difference was observed between the control and T4 treatments, with a lower percentage of phagocytic monocytes for treatment 4, which also presented the lowest value of IL-6 (pro-inflammatory). In the phagocytosis assay, a significant difference was observed between the control and T4 treatments, with a lower percentage of phagocytic monocytes for treatment 4, which also presented the lowest value of IL-6. Among the adsorbents evaluated, YES FIX HP provided the highest average production of IL-10, which suggests a greater balance in the immune response of animals to the challenge with mycotoxins, possibly contributing to the greater resistance of this group of animals to the main challenges faced in the field and that require a response from the defense system.
