Abstract

BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of multiple toxic fungal and bacterial metabolites in 156 animal feed (n= 77) and maize (n= 79) samples collected from three regions in Upper Egypt. The target analytes were quantified using the 'dilute and shoot' approach, followed by a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis.
