Aflatoxin G2

Aflatoxin G2 is a mycotoxin produced by certain moulds, especially Aspergillus species. It can be linked to contaminated food or feed, such as grains, nuts, seeds, or stored feed where mould has grown. Aflatoxin G2 is usually assessed as a supporting marker within the aflatoxin family. Its main value is that it can help show whether the aflatoxin pattern is broader, especially when other aflatoxin markers are also present. Higher findings may therefore be most relevant when there has been possible exposure to mouldy feed or when several aflatoxin markers appear together. The result is best understood together with symptoms such as reduced appetite, low energy, vomiting, diarrhoea, weight changes, or poor general condition, as well as the wider mycotoxin profile. A finding may be useful to review with a veterinarian, especially if symptoms or possible mould exposure are present.
