ABSTRACT


The analyses of feed contamination with mycoflora were carried on 1299 samples of feed mixtures for farm animals and pets. From those only in 12.2% the contamination was not detected. In Opole the presence of mycoflora was stated in 95.5% of samples, however in Wroc³aw the percentage of contaminated samples amounted to 80.13 %. On the basis of these data it could
be concluded that the evaluation of total number of fungi is not sufficient to evaluate the mycological quality of feed mixtures. For complete evaluation of mycological quality the simultaneous evaluation of mycotoxins concentration is indispensable.

Key words: micoflora, feed mixtures, contamination.
