Resumen:
  Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin with estrogenic effects in humans and animals. This mycotoxin affects mostly pigs, causing severe reproductive disorders and economic losses. The ability to adsorb ZEA was evaluated for bacterial precipitates obtained by reactivation and centrifugation of Lactobacilli strains isolated from rectal swabs from pigs in Tandil, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The aim of this study was to increase scientific knowledge on feed additives based on lactic acid bacteria, used as ZEA binders. This would be particularly important for development of products manufactured in national industry, using local strains.
