Mycotoxin explosion creating havoc on dairy farms right across Northern Ireland
December 19, 2022One of the most significant challenges thrown up for dairy and beef farmers over recent months has been a direct consequence of the extremely high mycotoxin levels found in their silages.
Learn more in this example with Mark Lewis, who milks 135 pedigree Holstein cows near Tandragee, Co. Armagh. His Rosevale Farm herd is currently averaging 12,000 litres at 4.15% butterfat and 3.25% protein. The cows are calving year-round and are milked courtesy of two robots installed in August 2020.
Indian livestock producers facing corn quality challenges
December 16, 2022A year that promised so much for Indian corn producers turned out much the opposite when crops began being harvested. Fertiliser shortages, adverse weather conditions and pest damage all played a role in driving down the yield and quality of both the earlier and later harvests (Rabi and Kharif).

The evolution of mycotoxin control
November 04, 2022Although fungi and mycotoxins are likely to have been present since humanity first began to cultivate crops around 10,000 years ago, it is only in the last few decades that researchers have truly sought to understand these toxic compounds, both from an impact and control perspective in the feed and food chain. Where has our mycotoxin research taken us so far, and where could it take us in the future?

Manage mycotoxin risk in lower quality ingredients
August 17, 2022Are feed and livestock producers powerless when managing the potential risks from mycotoxins when using lower-quality grains or byproducts? They do not have to be, and although mycotoxins cannot be eliminated completely, some steps can be taken that can help to mitigate the mycotoxin challenge. Learn more about managing the mycotoxin risk.
