European experts see an increase in mycotoxin contamination globally - A mycotoxin risk management system can help
Published:December 3, 2007
Summary
Abstract Mycotoxin contamination of crops represents a widespread problem. Despite extensive efforts during crop growth, harvesting or storage, it is not possible to completely avoid mycotoxin contaminations in feed. Therefore successful counteracting strategies become increasingly important. Due to the fact that some mycotoxins cannot be adsorbed sufficiently only a combination of diffe...
Which fungi were you able to isolate from the necrotic sites of the swine? What mycotoxins did they produce? At what levels ? Please send an abstract to the forthcoming conference of the Nigeria Mycotoxin Awareness and Study Network NMASN holding april 28-30, 2008, in Lagos.
