Notes:
The effect of Karnal bunt disease at 1,3,5, and 10% level of diseased grain infection on trimethylamine content, phenolic acids was found to increase with progressive increase in disease infection. Aflatoxin was absent in both healthy and infected wheats. Rat feeding with different percentages of Karnal bunt-infected diets showed no adverse effect on the feed acceptability. Rather, animals fed diets having 5 and 10% infected wheat showed higher feed intake. Diets having 10% infected wheat resulted in reduced liver weight, white blood cell, and monocyte counts.
