Biology Bulletin Reviews Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The use of a wide variety of animal and plant feeds in fur farming, a significant number of suppliers, and the complexity of transportation and storage of feed raw materials increase the risks of feed toxicoinfections and toxicoses. The proposed review article describes in detail the main toxic substances and their sources in fur-bearing animal feed, including biological and chemical toxins, namely, bacterial and fungal metabolites, protein breakdown products and fat oxidation, fish biotoxins, heavy metals, persistent organochlorine compounds, pestcides, etc.
