Mycotoxins are a major problem in the poultry industry causing significant negative effects on animal health, productivity, and the economics of production. Binders such as bentonites are typically added to poultry diets to adsorb mycotoxins in the gastrointestinal tract and protect the birds against the harmful effects of mycotoxins. Bentonites are effective in preventing aflatoxicosis, however, ...

Dr. Marchenkov, in relation to your question on binders binding vitamins, please keep in mind that today customers are using maximum of 2 kg per ton of feed toxin binder. I won't recommend anything more than that. At such levels of inclusion, vitamin binding is zero or very minimal. 70% of the global feed today contains one or other mycotoxin binder. Very rarely we get questions from customers on ...

Thank you Debora and Prof. Kim for an interesting article. It is interesting to note that even 3ppm DON was not able to compromise performance statistically. Is this due to sampling error or really piglets can manage such levels? Thanks

Dear Ram Singh, ruminant animals especially milking animals has two reasons for mycotoxin analysis in feed. One is aflatoxin M1 residue in milk and two, effects of multiple mycotoxins on health and performance. Keeping this is mind, following mycotoxins are important to be analyzed in the order of priority;
1. Aflatoxins
2. Zearalenone
3. T-2 toxin
4. DON
5. Fumonisins
Additionally ergot toxins a ...

Dear Navale, testing as many mycotoxins as possible always helps to ascertain toxicity more precisely. But under field conditions, such analysis can be expensive and time consuming. A field miller has to make a quick decision whether to accept or reject raw materials very quickly and he can't analyze all mycotoxins. Scientifically, Aflatoxins, OTA and T-2 are the most toxic mycotoxins to poultry a ...

The so called Mycotoxins are not a new subject to Indian poultry industry. Perhaps, it is not an overstatement to say that Indian poultry feed millers, integrators and farmers understand mycotoxin challenges much better than their counterparts from the other countries. This is due to the extensive applied research carried on mycotoxins in poultry as well as high occurrence of aflatoxicosis in the ...
