- Intervention effect Gamma irradiation alone was significantly more effective than the antifungal and combined treatments in reducing aflatoxin B1.
- Intervention effect Gamma irradiation alone totally inhibited survival of insects during 45 days of storage.
- Intervention effect Gamma irradiation alone allowed better preservation of corn protein during storage.
- Intervention effect All treatments controlled growth of Salmonella and Enterobacteriaceae in stored corn.
- Observation Grain humidity was kept lower than 13% under all treatments.
- Observation The estimated cost of a 40 kg bag of feed was USD 22.56, 1.80% greater than the conventional process.
