Hello I wish to discuss the research and the testing on which the mycotoxin standards have been based in the USA and the EU. There are many documents relating to what these standards are, but there is hardly any as to what have they been laid upon. If you can give me your suggestion as to how and where can I get access to these, it would be great help!
The standards for mycotoxins have been issued by the GIPSA in USA and the EU comitee for Mycotoxins, Canada has issued their own, as well as Latin America through AFIA. The reality is that standards do not apply to field situations and therefore, I recommend that you follow your own needs based on your field experience.

Hello
Thanking you for your suggestions about mycotoxin. I will mail the concerned authorities regarding the documents I require. I understand the suggestion you have given .But that should not be much of a concern at the moment as I am mainly concerned with the criterion these standards have been based upon while the actual framing of the regulations.
The research models adopted and testing performed for the same. If you have any recommendation to give regarding these, please feel free to do so.

I feel the standards for mycotoxin are placed on statistical work and field experience in each of the composed states in the USA and all the EU reporting cases. Standards are just adopted for internal purposes of grain acceptance by receivers and exporters. As you know ithe Tates we can reject a truck with 20 PPB of Aflatoxin, but in other Central and Asian countries, they need to accept what they get and blended with lower toxin grade coarse grain.
Sometimes, we find ourselves also that regulated standards are not for the toxins that most damage our chickens or pigs, but rather toxins that are more handful due to the local conditions.
This is my opinion and through more than 25 years in the field is a logic situation to find totally contrary situations from standards to field situations.
