Abstract
Immunological methods are now widely used for screening and quantification of mycotoxins in cereals and foods. While, in feeds, there are few reports on immunoassays for screening and no quantitative methods have been developed. These facts suggest that one of the general advantages of immunoassay, direct application to the crude extract, does not work in the case of feed samples. This means that too much impurities that interfere the immunoreactions are contained in feeds and some clean up steps will be required for immunoassay for feeds. As of now, the immunoaffinity chromatography is probably most suitable for this purpose.
