1. Introduction Oats (Avena sativa L.) have become an increasingly important cereal crop due to their health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases (Thies et al., 2014), and their growing incorporation into human diets (Rasane et al., 2015). For example, corresponding with increased oat consumption trends, oat production in the United Kingdom reached 986 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing a 19 % increase compared to the previous year (DEFRA, 2024)....

When a Laboratory Result Changes Everything The laboratory report arrives late in the morning. The batch complies with all nutritional specifications… except one. A trace of a coccidiostat is detected in a premix intended for a non-target species. The level is very low, only a few milligrams per tonne. And yet, doubt immediately arises: where did it come from? The previous product? Residual material in the circuit? A fraction of dust trapped in a filter? Nothing...

This analysis is based on the book chapter "Relevant fungal species and associated mycotoxins in storage," authored by Carla Cervini, Andrea Patriarca, Carol Verheecke-Vaessen, and Angel Medina, published in Mycotoxins , DOI: 10.1163/9789004724969_011.
While pre-harvest contamination receives significant attention, storage is identified as the most critical stage in the food supply chain where fungal growth and mycotoxin accumulation can severely impact food and feed safety....

1. Introduction The term ‘Aflatoxins’ (AFT) typically refers to the sum of variants AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, while ‘Fumonisins’ (FBs) refers to the sum of variants FB1 and FB2 [1]. These groups are mycotoxins produced by molds of genera Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp., which commonly colonize corn [2–4]. The contamination of corn by AFT or FBs (especially the main variant FB1) has health implications for consumers of corn-derived products. The AFT are...

1. Introduction Contamination of feed ingredients or complete feed has been shown to be a potential route of pathogen transmission [1,2]. To control this potential route of disease transmission, efforts can focus on the prevention of the contamination step from occurring or implementing strategies to reduce the survival of the bacteria or virus in the material, and thus reduce the likelihood of causing clinical disease when presented to a naïve animal. Prevention...

1. Introduction Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important food security and income-generating crop in various areas of the world. Improvements in yields had been obtained by selection of hybrids, mechanisation, irrigation, use of mineral fertilisers and phytosanitary products, leading to an increase in the world production associated with global trades. Besides this agroeconomic system, farmers produce maize as a subsistence crop using local resources. Even in Europe, groups of organic...

Cereals are an international commodity grown in almost all cultivable regions of the world. The three most important cereals that are destined for human and animal consumption are maize ( Zea mays ), wheat ( Triticum spp.) and rice ( Oryza sativa ). These crops can be affected by biotic and abiotic factors in all phenological stages, affecting quality and final yield. The Fusarium graminearum species complex is the main causal agent of ear...

1. Introduction Wheat is one of the most important staple foods in the world, but it is jeopardized by many toxigenic fungal species that produce large numbers of mycotoxins with diverse chemical structures. In Hungary, the total wheat production area is approximately one million hectares [1], spanning diverse agronomic and climatic conditions. Major toxigenic fungi. Fusarium species are among the main wheat pathogens in Hungary, posing serious risks to animal and human health...

Introduction Animal husbandry, the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock, is a major food-producing industry worldwide. The increasing global demand for animal protein results in rapidly growing animal production as well as the growth of animal feed and the feed additive market. The feed additives have played a significant role in the sustainability of the livestock industry. There are four major drivers for the growth of the animal feed additive market including:...
