Annual survey of mycotoxin in feed in 2017-Taiwan

Published: July 10, 2018
Summary
In 2017, 493 randomly collected feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms were analyzed. Samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit (Romer Labs®). Results Of 493 feed samples collected, 93.9% were contaminated with deoxynivalenol (table 1). All the maximum concentrations...

Drying food products using natural/artificial resources soon at harvest followed my moisture-proof storage (Dry Chain) and using such raw material in feeds could lower the contaminations documented in this quite informative study. Use of food crops resistant/tolerant to storage mold infections should also be encouraged.
