ABSTRACT
Six types of poultry feed ingredients viz. maize, rice bran, sesame oil cake, soybean oil cake, wheat husk and oyster shell were used for determination of the presence of fungal flora. Eight genera of fungi have been isolated and identified. The genus Aspergillus was the highest in frequency followed by Penicillium, Rhizopus, Fusarium, Paecilomyces, Scopulariopsis, Alternaria and Candida. Sesame oil cake was the highest contaminated (43.15%) and oyster shell was the lowest (3.06%). Fungal contamination of poultry feed ingredients increased with the increase in their moisture content and storage period.
