Abstract: Aflatoxin was the most serious harmful biological toxicity in livestock feed.This paper reviews the aflatoxin metabolism in the animal body,toxicity for animal growth performance,antioxidant system,immune system and liver toxicity of aflatoxin,and it introduced physical adsorption class,chemical reactions class,biodegradation class and combination class of aflatoxin antidote including its effects.It provided a theoretical basis to research how to prevent aflatoxin contamination for the animal feed industry.

Key words: aflatoxin; antidote; animal nutrition; research progress
