The article presents an investigation of the anti-fungal activity of commonly available plant products against the Aspergillus parasiticus fungi-producing aflatoxin. The purpose was to identify potential natural ingredients for better-quality animal feeds as an alternative to chemical-based anti-fungal agents. The 60 three plant products studied are listed. The test materials, methods and results are discussed in detail. The oil of Syzygium aromaticum showed the highest anti-fungal activity.
