Aim. The study has been focused on the incidence of citrinin in feed samples like: corn, wheat, oats, barley, pea, soy, sun-flower, combined feed, alfalfa hay originated from industrial and familial farms from Romania, between 1stJuly – 31th December 2007.

Material and method. A lot of 55 samples was analyzed by mycological and mycotoxicological examinations using current laboratory protocols.

Results. 69.09% out of these samples were contamined with fungi from Penicillium genus and 89.09% with fungi from Aspergillus genus. The mycotoxicological examination performed by ELISA has detected the following concentrations of citrinin: more than 405 ppb in 25.45% out of samples, between 201-400 ppb in 10.90% out of samples, 101-200 ppb in 21.81% out of samples and less than 101 ppb in 41.81% out of samples.

Discussions. The obtained values indicate a high level of contamination with citrinin which represents an important risk for animal and public health.
