Abstract

The present study was designed to study the serum biochemical changes induced by Fumonisin B2 @ 10 ppm and ochratoxin A @ 2 ppm in feed, alone and in combination in male rabbits. A significant decrease in total protein, albumin, globulin and glucose levels and an increase in serum ALP, ALT, AST and LDH levels were recorded in both individual and combination groups. In combination group the effect of these two toxins was additive.
