Aflatoxin Production on High Moisture Corn and Sorghum with a Limited Incubation1

R. T. Winn and G. T. Lane2

Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, College Station 77840

ABSTRACT

Samples of ground, cracked, or whole kernels of sorghum or corn were inoculated with Aspergillus flavus #15546. The samples were incubated at 25 or 30 C and 90% relative humidity for 48 or 72 h. In all treatments, the 72-h samples contained more aflatoxins B1 and B2 than the 48-h samples. Cracked sorghum at 30 C for 72 h and whole sorghum at 25 C for 72 h contained more aflatoxins than any other treatment. Even in these short incubation periods, enough aflatoxin could be produced to be harmful to livestock.
