%X <span style=\"font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\">Occurrence of citrinin and ochratoxin A in different feed ingredients and compound feeds was screened by accredited methods based on the indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High frequency co-occurrence of both toxins was found in wheat grain and processed sunflower seeds. Citrinin levels exceeded those of ochratoxin A in the majority of co-contaminated feed samples, and the ratio of (1.1 - 10):1 proved to be the most frequent. A possible role of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\">Aspergillus</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\"> and </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\">Penicillium</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\"> fungi in separate and simultaneous OTA and CIT occurrence in feeds is also discussed.</span></span>
