ln this study it was aimed to determine protective effects of different doses (1 glkg and 2 gfkg feed GM) esterified
glucomannan (GM) against to experimentally chronic aflatoxicosis (1 mg/kg feed AF) in Japanese quails (Coturnix cotumix japonica). In this study, 10 dayold, healthy 240 male Japanese quails were used. These animals were separated equally into six groups. These groups were fed with normal diet (K), the same diet containing 2 mg/kg atlatoxin (AF), 1 gfkg GM (GM1), 2 g/kg GM (GM2), 2 mgfkg aflatoxin + 1 g/kg GM (AF+GM1) and 2 mgfkg atlatoxin + 2 g/kg GM (AF+GM2) for 42 days. In the blood samples taken on the 21st and 42nd day, it was determined decrease in total protein (TP), albumin. tryglyseride, cholesterole, glucose, calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphorus (IP), and blood urea nitrogen (SUN) levels and increase in alanineaminotransferase (ALT) and aspartateaminotransferase enzymes activities in the AF ve AF+GMl groups (P
