| Résumé: | The influence of dietary protein levels on aflatoxin induced hepatocarcinogenesis inpigs was investigated. The pigs were given low and high levels of protein at 12 and 22 % and aflatoxin B, was administered at the rate of 25 ug/kg b.wt. for a period of 36 weeks. Four
groups of animals were maintained; group I - aflatoxin Bi + ]sigh protect diet; group II - aflatoxin Bi +low protein diet; group III -high
protein diet alone; group IV -low protein diet alone. Each group consisted of six animals. The pigs were sacrificed after one year of the
commencement of experiment. Hepatic carcinomas was recorded in 66% of the animals that survived one year on high protect diet while |
