Se evaluó la capacidad de etoxiquina para prevenir el efecto tóxico de las aflatoxinas sobre parámetros bioquímicos e histopatológicos en gallinas de postura. Las aves consumieron aflatoxinas (0.00, 0.50, 1.00 y 1.50 mg/kg) con y sin etoxiquina (500 mg/kg de alimento). Se sacrificaron aves a las 0, 14, 20, 46 y 72 semanas de intoxicación. El consumo crónico de aflatoxinas produjo cambios morfológicos y bioquímicos significativos (P<0.05) en hígado y riñones, como disminución de la concentración de proteínas totales y glutatión reducido; cambio de la actividad enzimática de las transferasas de glutatión y gamma glutamiltranspeptidasa. La etoxiquina fue aceptada por las aves y no alteró por si sola la morfología del hígado y riñones. El uso de etoxiquina mitigó los cambios bioquímicos inducidos por las aflatoxinas en las variables evaluadas, lo cual sugiere la existencia de un efecto quimioprotector c contra el efecto tóxico de las aflatoxinas.
Palabras clave: aflatoxicosis, hepatoxicidad, nefrotoxicidad, quimioprotectores, avicultura.
