ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in dairy sheep, goats, and camel milk in Hail, Saudi Arabia, and evaluate methods for reducing AFM1. A total of 67 milk samples were collected from Ghazala and Al-Shweimis villages, Hail. AFM1 in milk samples was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. Results revealed concentration of AFM1 in goat and camel milk samples from Ghazala was higher than that in goat and camel milk samples from Al-Shweimis with a significant difference (p<0.05) using both ELISA and HPLC methods. The mean AFM1 concentration using ELISA for goat milk was (12.96 ± 2.23 ng/l), while the AFM1 concentration for camel milk was (1.54 ± 0.29 ng/l). Microwave heating and boiling are effective methods to reduce the AFM1 in milk. The highest AFM1 removal percent was 42.96% by microwave and 12.32 % by boiling milk samples.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of fresh water and seawater flooding on phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N) dynamics in two calcareous soils (Biscayne and Krome) of South Florida using a 28-day greenhouse flooding experiment. Porewater samples were collected at three depths over four periods (1, 7, 14, and 28 days) of flooding and analyzed for selected water quality parameters. Results showed that seawater-flooded Biscayne soil had a 4.4 fold higher porewater soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration than freshwater. Additionally, porewater SRP concentration and total phosphorus (TP) in Biscayne soil increased with prolonged flooding duration and column depth. Furthermore, both freshwater and seawater flooding increased porewater NH4+ - N concentration; however, the increase was more pronounced in seawater flooded samples. NH4+ - N concentration also increased with flooding duration. Overall, the study highlights the risks of nutrient leaching from seawater flooded coastal soils that could contribute to the deterioration of surface and groundwater quality.
