During the period 1983-1993, 4818 samples of agricultural commodities, comprising cereals, oilseed cakes, compound feeds, and other ingredients, were examined for aflatoxin contamination. High quantities of aflatoxins were found in groundnut cake, deoiled groundnut cake, maize, and mixed feeds. Highest incidence of aflatoxin contamination was observed in groundnut cake (96.35%) and deoiled groundnut cake (96.20%), and the highest level of aflatoxin B1, 8260 ppb, was observed in maize.
