dc.description.abstractAnimal feeds are commonly manufactured using cereals that are prone to attack by fungal growth. The possibility that feeds unsuitable for human consumption may find their way into animal feeds raises the likelihood of their contamination with aflatoxin B1 and consequently of milk with M1. Most of the study respondents had heard of aflatoxin in general but only 33% had heard of aflatoxin in milk. The quality of animal feeds available to Kenyan farmers in regard to aflatoxin is very poor; at the manufacturer level 81% of feed and raw materials were aflatoxin positive; 87% were positive from agro-vet sources for aflatoxin B1.en
