GOMEZ VERDUZCO, Gabriela Guadalupe et al. Implication of Fusariotoxins in poultry production. Review. Rev. mex. de cienc. pecuarias [online]. 2024, vol.15, n.2, pp.425-445.  Epub Aug 05, 2024. ISSN 2448-6698.  https://doi.org/10.22319/rmcp.v15i2.6090.

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi of various genera. Among the most important mycotoxins are those produced by fungi of the genus Fusarium sp., which can be divided into several groups for study, which are the groups of trichothecenes (and T-2 toxin), fumonisins, mainly fumonisin B1 (B1, B2, B3, B4, A1, and A2), and zearalenone with estrogenic effects. Although fusariotoxins cause similar effects because they share the same mechanism of action, by altering protein synthesis in intoxicated poultry, it is important to mention the incidence as well as the characteristics between each of them. Therefore, the characteristics of each group mentioned are described in each section.

Keywords : Mycotoxins; Fusariotoxins; Poultry; Fungi.
