This study was conducted to evaluate the toxic effects of aflatoxin (AF) on the growth performance of quails, and to determine the preventive efficacy of MOLDSTOP® (calcium formate, calcium propionate, citric acid, sorbic acid, acetic acid, and carrier). A total of 60 one-day-old quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) of both sexes were equally divided into four experimental groups each comprising of five replicates of three birds. The supplementation of diet with AF decreased significantly (P<0.001) the feed consumption. The 0.5% addition of MOLDSTOP® to the AF diet did not significantly prevent or reduce negative effect of AF on feed consumption at any time period. Light microscopic examination demonstrated that the addition of MOLDSTOP® did not decrease fat deposition caused by the toxin, and besides, an electron microscopic examination indicated the reorganisation in the endoplasmic reticulum and increase in the number of ribosomes and polisomes compared to the AF plus MOLDSTOP® group. The data indicated that the addition of MOLDSTOP® to diets containing AF did not prevent the negative effects of AF observed in the quail.
