1 Introduction The Fusarium genera include a diverse group of phytopathogenic fungi that are dispersed around the world. Inside this genera are several species that are able to produce mycotoxins, including Fusarium graminearum, which is a pathogen of maize and wheat. In wheat and in other winter cereals, it causes Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab, which is the main disease of these cereals in the Southern region of Brazil (PARRY; JENKINSON; McLEOD, 1995; McMULLEN; JONES;...

Pegasus, in the Greek mythology, was the winged stallion that carried the thunderbolts of Zeus. Thunderbolts represent light and speed, simultaneously. To obtain speed in the risk management of mycotoxins is, today, a reality within the field of business. Management of mycotoxins The technical concepts that involve the animal losses caused by the mycotoxins have already been established, especially for those species with an economic value. Proper monitoring of...

In the first half of 2017, Life Rainbow mycotoxin analysis lab randomly collected 237 feed samples from feed mills of large and medium size in Taiwan. By using the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit (Romer Labs®), the level of mycotoxins including Aflatoxins, Zearalenone, Fumonisins and DON were analyzed. Results Out of total 237 samples, 76% of feed were contaminated with Zearalenone; 97% of feed...

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 of mycotoxin were over the limit of quantification in this survey. ...

MINAZEL PLUS is created by innovative and unique technology following the European patent. The product use leads to a broad range of action such as adsorption of all mycotoxins, polar and less polar in a very high percentage. Once adsorbed to MINAZEL PLUS, mycotoxins are not desorbed through the intestinal tract.
Great speed of adsorption – the largest part of mycotoxins are adsorbed within a few minutes.
Does not adsorb nutrients from feed.
Effective in diverse conditions with the different...

Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), is caused by Gibberella zeae Petch, anamorph Fusarium graminearum Schwabe (1, 2, 3, and 4). The role of anthers in Fusarium infection has been reported in the literature for many decades, since initial FHB in wheat was shown to occur via anthers (1, 17, 22, 24, 25, 26, and 27). FHB of wheat is a floral infecting disease. De Vries (9) has described the flowering process of wheat in detail. The hermaphrodite wheat...

Celer AFLA B1 is a specific immunoassay for the detection of the aflatoxin B1 among all the other aflatoxins. Its high sensitivty and specificity (low interferences for the other aflatoxins) make it a fast, cost-effective and reliable screening tool to detect small amounts of aflatoxin B1 in different matrices. The assay was validated on cereals, feed, nuts, dried fruits. The present work describes the validation results obtained for maize. ...

1. Introduction Toxigenic fungi may often colonize fodder crops and feed components. Under varied environmental conditions, they can produce toxic secondary metabolites, called mycotoxins. A recent study investigated the occurrence of mycotoxins in European feed samples and concluded that 82% of the samples were contaminated with mycotoxins [1], indicating that mycotoxins are omnipresent. All farm animals can experience a negative impact from a dietary intake...

INTRODUCTION Zearalenone (ZEA) is produced by Fusarium fungi growing on grains worldwide and is mostly found in its derived products. Concentrations depend on climatic conditions, as well as on the conditions of feed storage and production (Rotter et al., 1996; Voss et al., 2007). With a similar structure to estrogen, zearalenone has been demonstrated to affect swine reproduction (Etienne and Jemmali, 1982; Young et al., 1990). Besides its estrogenic effects, zearalenone has...

Introduction Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites from certain fungal lineages of the Aspergillus genus, mainly A. flavus and A. parasiticus . Aflatoxins B 1 , B 2 , G 1 , and G 2 are natural contaminants of seeds and feed, mainly nuts, peanuts, cotton seeds, maize, and other oilseeds (Sweeney and Dobson, 1998; Stroka et al., 2000). Obtaining trustable results on mycotoxins analysis in feed is important for...

Introduction Traditionally, the presence of mycotoxins capable of causing damage in animal production has been demonstrated by detecting certain levels in ingredients and / or rations. Since this technique has many limitations, histopathology has been used in many areas to demonstrate that these toxic agents are actually affecting the birds. Here we propose a practical approach to demonstrate their presence in comercial farms. By following this...
