I think this is a very helpful contribution to our understanding of mycotoxicoses in pigs. Despite the limitations of this type of meta-analysis, it is very interesting to see the quantitative differences in feed intake and weight gain of pigs comparing individual and multiple co-contaminant challenges. This certainly helps us understand the increased severity of response when pigs are fed natural ...

Since mycotoxins were first identified in the 1960s, there has been an increased focus on contaminated feed due to global trading, increased monitoring and technology, changing agricultural practices, unexpected weather, food safety regulations and mycotoxin interactions.
Today, forage quality is a top priority on dairies as producers now recognize the risk poor feed ingredients can pose to the h ...

As producers, nutritionists and veterinarians we are used to seeing molds on the farm. Molds are ubiquitous in the environment and it has been well documented that some of these molds have the ability to produce poisons known as mycotoxins. Because of their ability to survive many environmental conditions, different species of molds have the ability to grow on the crop in the field pre-harvest, du ...

This is a common symptom in pigs exposed to zearalenone toxicity. Zearalenone is an estrogenic mycotoxin produced by various Fusarium fungi especially Fusarium graminearum. Other mycotoxins such as T-2 toxin may contribute to the problem by causing intestinal irritation. Swamy, Alltech Inc.

Here are some comments that I received from a colleague of mine who has good levels of experience in the swine sector, I hope they help. Sounds like a toxin problem to me. Rectal prolapse is a classic sign of mycotoxin contaminated feeds. Other probable causes could be: cold rooms (pigs piling and pushing rectum out), enteric challenge (I’ve seen subclinical ileitis cause pigs to “pus ...
