Clinical description: 
In mycotoxicosis, the ingestion of fungal toxins in feed may be associated with liver abnormalities on post-mortem examination. In aflatoxicosis, the liver may be enlarged, pale, and friable, as shown here. In more chronic cases, the liver may become small, firm, and nodular and the gallbladder may become distended. Additionally, hemorrhages may also be observed.
