Understanding Mycotoxins And Their Impact On Animal Performance
Published: May 23, 2007
Summary
The most commonly recognized feed-borne mycotoxins are the aflatoxins and the Fusarium mycotoxins. Our understanding of the etiology of aflatoxicosis is far more complete than our corresponding understanding of Fusarium mycotoxicoses. This is perhaps because of the large volume of literature fueled by the acutely carcinogenic nature of aflatoxins. Analytical methodology for aflatoxins in feedstuf...

What will be the solution if mycotoxicoses occur even toxin binder is used in the feed that is being fed?

Now it is an established fact that there are two categories of fungus that affect the feed and feed ingredients. One is field fungus which is Fusarium; it affects the plant growing and produces mycotoxin in preform. And other fungi called storage fungi commonly known as Penicillium and Aspergillus which affect feed and feed grain during storage, and produce toxin when ingested by animal during metabolism. The toxin binder, which is mixed during feed milling counter, act only on those preform toxins, not on storage fungus. Due to this resean animals suffer mycotoxicosis. It is advisable to provide liquid toxin binder in water. It will be better than to top dress powder form of toxin binder.
