Abstract
Aflatoxin is a widely occurring and dangerous mycotoxin that grows on grain. Wildlife can be exposed by ingesting aflatoxin-contaminated grain supplied though supplemental feeding and baiting. Even though considered harmful, little information has been published on the specific impact of aflatoxin on birds. Therefore, our objectives were to determine the level of aflatoxin that negatively affects normal physiological responses and induces acute morbidity and mortality in northern bobwhites and northern cardinals.
