N.", abstract = "A total of 600 samples of milk from different species [buffalo (150), cow (150), goat (150), and sheep (150)] were analyzed for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination using high-performance liquid chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. AFM1 contamination was found in buffalo (38.6%), cow (45.3%), goat (33.3%), and sheep (36.6%) milk. The mean value of AFM1 was 0.026\textmugL1 in buffalo, 0.018\textmugL1 in cow, 0.014\textmugL1 in goat, and 0.017\textmugL1 in sheep milk. In all types of milks, the level of AFM1 concentration was higher in milk obtained from urban and semi-urban areas, whereas it was found minimal in milk from rural areas. The results of the analysis of AFM1 level by the ELISA analysis (ngL1) was observed in 46.5% of all samples. The amount of AFM1 in 16% buffalo, 44% cow, 10% goat, and 12% sheep milk samples was above the maximum tolerance limit accepted by the European Union.", }
