Welcome to the page about Mycotoxins - Adsorbents, binders, tests of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Mycotoxins - Adsorbents, binders, tests.
Tests which are necessary to evaluate a proper and wide-spectrum product for mycotoxin counteraction, comprise in vitro evaluation of binders in case adsorption is the claimed strategy, or, in case of biotransformation it is crucial to evaluate the toxicity of metabolization products. In vivo trials are indispensable to test the efficacy of the products in practical conditions. Biomin has been always ahead in the counteraction of mycotoxins in...

A trial was performed with castrated male hogs of the Belgian Landrace x Belgian Landrace, in the finishing stage, from 23 Kg. of weight to 90 Kg., during the 101 days of the test; feed consumed was based on corn-soybean with an average content of 5 ppm aflatoxin B1 (AB1) and 50 ppb of Ochratoxin; a parallel trial was carried with added TOXIBOND as a sequestering agent, and; a third one, with the mycotoxins in question absent was verified in the laboratory. 20 animals per treatment...

Good day, Lately many binders like bentonites are being banned around the world. The organic binders have not experimented changes for the last 8 years, its absorption in Aflatoxin and Zea is good, contrary with T2 and other mycotoxins. Aluminosilicates present ambivalent results concerning dioxin and heavy metal contamination, which make absorption more difficult, cause they occupy the place where this process is developed. Clinoptilolite-Heulandite zeolites contrast in...

Brazil has become the world leader in how to approach the problem of mycotoxins and anti-mycotoxin additives (AAM) in a very efficient and practical way. The most important issue for the Brazilian government is to protect the consumer (feed plant and/or producer) from the large supply of anti-mycotoxin additives that in most cases offered solutions without any scientific support.
The Brazilian government recognized the problem and formed a committee of experts that develop the...

On 13 May 2009, the European Commission published a new regulation in the Official Journal, opening a new functional group under Regulation (EC) 1831/2003 for feed additives acting on the reduction of the contamination of feed by mycotoxins. This first amendment to the new Feed Additive Regulation, put in place in 2003, is not only a milestone regarding innovation by the European Union for the feed additive business, but also an important step forward in the integrated fight against...

Aflatoxin and ochratoxin A can be found in a wide variety of commodities including cereals, nuts, dried fruit, herbs, spices and coffee when such foods are stored under adverse conditions of temperature and humidity. Over the years legislation for mycotoxins in food has increased to incorporate additional matrices and toxins, resulting in an increased demand for faster and less labour intensive tests to allow more analyses to be performed in a shorter time period. This has placed pressure on...

I would like to ask the experts (especially chemists) who have studied the chemical properties of trichothecenes: Does ammoniation have any effect on trichothecenes (T-2 toxin, DON, satratoxin etc.)? Can ammonia detoxify trichothecenes at least to some extent, or is ammonia completely inert when mixed with trichothecene mycotoxins (i.e. no chemical reaction)? I have reviewed the scientific literature and I cant find any information on this. Ammoniation is mentioned (and in some...

Poultry, swine and dairy producers admit today that the presence of mycotoxins in the feed is one of the main factors affecting animal production. As a result of the higher prices of feed ingredients, their quality is getting worse, with some grains showing higher levels of mycotoxins. High contamination levels can also be found in distillers grains, an ingredient in increasing supply, originated from the use of corn in ethanol production in the US. ...

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...
