Good and bad material can also be segregated by the employment of optical sorting equipment. Here, the characteristics of individual kernels or grain are automatically optically examined (e.g. for evidence of physical &/or mould damage, discoloration, shriveling etc.) Chemical detoxification of aflatoxin-contaminated feed, using ammonia under elevated temperature and pressure, has been commercially exploited in, for example, the USA and France (Park & Price, 2001). A small commercial am- monia detoxification plant, employed for the detoxification of poultry and duck feed in India, in shown in Figure 4. The prevention of the adsorption of mycotoxins from feeds, post ingestion, has been performed by the addi- tion of a variety of adsorbents to animal feed (including Bentonite, activated charcoal and Fuller's Earth). (Mg- beahuruike et al, 2018). A variety of commercially-pro- duced adsorbents are available. A variety of other detoxification techniques are currently in the research stage including, the use of bacterial and enzymatic agents, neutral electrolyzed water (to prevent aflatoxicosis in Turkey poults) and the use of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (Hassan & Zhu, 2018).
