This experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of two alumino-silicates against deleterious effects of a toxin on growth performance and blood parameters of male broilers. The products did not counteract the negative effects on growth performance. Total protein and gtotamic-oxalacetic transaminase in blood from birds fed contaminated and non contaminated rations, were negatively affected (P<0.05) by the toxin. Other parameters like alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin time, gamma glutamyl transferase, bilirubin and total iron binding capacity did not show significant differences when compared to the control.
