Zootoxin

A zootoxin is a toxic substance that can be found in animal foods or in the environment. It can be hazardous to the health of animals and people.

Zootoxins can be obtained from various sources such as plants, bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. They can cause a variety of illnesses in animals, including poisoning, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures and other symptoms.

One of the most common zootoxins is salmonella. This is a bacterium that can cause salmonellosis in humans and animals. Salmonella can enter food through unwashed hands, contaminated water or animal feed.

Another example of a zootoxin is botulinum toxin. It is a neurotoxin that can cause paralysis in animals and people who eat contaminated food. Botulinum toxin can be found in meat, fish, milk and other foods.

To prevent zootoxin-hazardous diseases, it is necessary to follow hygiene and safety rules when working with animals and food, as well as monitor the quality of food and animal feed.
