Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin known Resorcylic acid lacton RAL and F-2 mycotoxin, is a potent estrogenic metabolite produced by some Fusarium species. Several Fusarium species produce toxic substances of considerable concern to livestock and poultry producers, namely deoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, Diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) and Zearalenone. This study was conducted to detect the fungi associated with poultry feeds and evaluate the efficacy of some chemical, biological and physical agents the potential effects of each of crude and purified bacteriocin of Pediococcus pentosaceus, Magnetic field and adsorptive factors Chitosan and Pomegranate pericarp Punica granatum L. for detoxification of ZEA to reduce Zearalenone in poultry feeds and in liquid medium Yeast Extract Sucrose (YES).
