The aim of the study was to determine the impact of feed supplemented with specific amounts of zearalenone and chemical destructor (sodium carbonate) being under research on morphology of the selected organs of the gastrointestinal tract in pigs. The conducted research showed that zearalenone (ZEA) damaged the mucous membrane of the stomach, the small intestines and hepatocytes. The addition of sodium carbonate decreases the intensification of the lesions within the gastrointestinal tract, though it does not eliminate them. The administration of the xenobiotic by itself did not impair the gastrointestinal tract in pigs. Hence it may be useful as a prophylactic tool in the prevention of zearalenone mycotoxicosis
