The Bosnian Serb entity's authorities reported on Sunday that large-scale checks had showed that elevated concentrations of aflatoxins and mycotoxins were present in cattle fodder on 16 farms which was why the purchase of milk from those farms had been temporarily suspended.
Following the news about cases when those toxins in milk in the region were above the permitted levels, the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina's Serb entity stepped up supervision on its farms and dairies, and established that milk from 16 farms contained higher concentrations of the said substances.
A veterinary inspector, Drago Nedic, was quoted by the local media as saying on Sunday that raw milk from those farms had not been included into the dairy production processes.
According to him, samples of milk from those 16 farms will be forwarded for additional testing to the European Union' reference laboratory.
