Abstract
The authors describe the finding and identification of ochratoxin A in fodder barley of Czechoslovak produce. The fungus Penicillium verrucosum var. verrucosum, which is an ample producer of ochratoxin A, was isolated from a sample of barley. The isolated fungus was cultivated on several substrates at different temperatures and the production of ochratoxin A was studied during cultivation. The authors believe that the ochratoxicoses of farm animals may also occur in Czechoslovakia and that it would be useful to study this mycotoxin in selected feeds.
