Effect of esterified glucomannan (E-GM), a new generation toxin binder enzymatically extracted from the cell wall of certain stains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in counteracting the deleterious effects of aflatoxin in broiler chicken was investigated. Broilers fed 1ppm aflatoxin-B1 recorded significantly (Psignificantly (Ped the ill effects on weight gain and feed consumption, while the feed efficiency was restored to normal. High mortality in broilers caused by aflatoxin, was slightly reduced by the addition of E-GM.
