Abstract

The form of packaging of pelleted feed can directly influence its quality. Thus, the objective was to verify the fungal contamination in dog food sold in bulk in several establishments in the city of Teresina - PI. Fifteen samples of the same brand from five commercial establishments from three randomly selected administrative regions (A, B and C) were evaluated from October to November 2017. The administrative regions with the highest count of filamentous fungi and yeast was followed by C. Aspergillus is the prevalent genus present in 71.4% of the analyzed samples.
