Abstract :In this study, aflatoxin M1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AFM1); levels were determined from the milk serum of 90 lactating Honamlı goats aged 2-6 years in 12 herds breeding Honamlı goats in Burdur Province in spring and April in 2021. A statistically significant difference was found between flock 1 and flock 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 and between flock 3 and flock 9 and 11 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. In addition, the mean AFM1 concentration was determined as 29.79 ng/L in 12 farms of Honamlı breed goat breeding in Burdur province. The minimum AFM1 concentration was 7.99 ng/L and the maximum AFM1 concentration was 46.28 ng/L in 12 flocks. As a result, AFM1 was detected in the milk samples of all 12 herds included in the Burdur study in this study. AFM1 levels were determined at an acceptable level according to the Turkish Food Codex. However, although it is acceptable according to the Turkish Food Codex, the presence of AFM1 in the whole herd should be very careful when feeding the fodder plants with poor storage conditions to the animals. In addition, the concentration of aflatoxin in plants in pastures should be investigated. This study has proven that natural toxin binders, which have been actively used in animal nutrition recently, should also be used in goat breeding.
