Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary products of fungal metabolism that may be produced in contaminated feeds during production and storage. These metabolites are generally associated with a group of ubiquitous fungi belonging to the Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Claviceps species that grow on forages and grains in the field and during storage (Ledoux and Rottinghaus, 1999). It has been estimated that at least 300 fungal metabolites are potentially toxic for man and...

Laboratory results under the field trial microscope. A major field trial initiated by Syngenta is testing European experience and laboratory results that show that fludioxonil-based cereal seed treatments can help reduce grain mycotoxin contamination. The trial - conducted by Harper Adams University College - seeks to confirm laboratory studies where fludioxonil kept plants free from seed sources of fusarium right through to ear formation. As a result, while...

Natural mycotoxins still contaminate the world’s food supply and need sensitive and accurate assays to detect them. Many rapid assays on the market cannot accurately detect mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, etc.) in certain commodities due to interference from materials extracted with the toxin. The most widely used rapid assays employ a conventional ELISA immunoassay format which cannot detect aflatoxin in commercial silage in a simple assay format....

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is the most important cool season perennial grass used as a forage throughout the southeastern United States. It is able to withstand arid conditions mainly due to the fungal endophyte Acremonium coenophialum that infects most tall fescue. While the endophyte is beneficial to the plant, the toxins it produces have negative effects on the health and performance of grazing animals and result in a condition known as fescue toxicosis. Current...
