Grain represents a significant portion of the mycotoxin risk to livestock performance, reproduction and health.
Read moreIn recent years, the increased awareness of mycotoxins globally has led to progress in many areas. Perhaps most fundamentally, the increased attention has driven more research into the impact of mycotoxins on animal performance, including the generation of meta-analyses for certain species.
Read moreSignificant effects of low mycotoxin concentrations can be observed on the immunity and antioxidant systems, which often remain undetected.
Read moreHowever, the last few years have brought new mycotoxin control technologies that are underutilized in our grain storage bins. But, incorporating them at each step of the grain handling process can provide valuable assistance in controlling mycotoxins in animal feed.
Read moreEver-present in the farm environment, mycotoxins are a potential threat to even the best-run dairy operations.
Read moreThe digitization of agriculture is being viewed more and more as one of the key ways the sector can meet some of the pressing challenges surrounding animal welfare, food safety and environmental sustainability.
Read morePigs are particularly susceptible to the risk posed by mycotoxins. Ingestion of contaminated feed may impair a pig’s cellular and tissue integrity, leading to an unhealthy imbalance of different physiological systems. These cause organ malfunction that results in depressed pig performance, decreased immunity and reduced health status.
Read moreThe gastrointestinal tract represents the first barrier against ingested chemicals, feed contaminants and natural toxins. Following ingestion of mycotoxin-contaminated feed, intestinal epithelial cells can be exposed to high concentrations of toxins.
