Introduction Silages made from a variety of forage crops constitute important components of ruminant diets in many areas of the world. New estimates for Germany, for example, indicate that silage production is the biggest on-farm preservation operation (Weissbach, personal communication). In 2000, a total of 76.2 million tonnes of silage were produced compared to only 2.3 tonnes of hay (based on fresh matter). Maize silage represents the major proportion (about 58%), followed...

Introduction Whether grain is produced in temperate, subtropical or tropical climates, if high rainfall and humidity are experienced in the harvest season, infection of the grain by mould is likely. The range of ingredients affected by mould includes grains, oilseeds, roughages and milling by-products. Where there is mould growth, the likelihood of mycotoxins being present is significant. Moulds are tremendously adaptable organisms, able to metabolise a...

Introduction Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi which are toxic to livestock when consumed in biologically significant amounts. The resulting diseases are referred to as mycotoxicoses. Mold growth and mycotoxin production on feed grains are influenced by many factors but the most important of these is moisture. Stored grains should contain less than 15% moisture to minimize mold growth. Fusarium fungi are commonly found in temperate climates; and Fusarium mycotoxins are...

Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary products of fungal metabolism that may beproduced in contaminated feeds during production and storage. Thesemetabolites are generally associated with a group of ubiquitous fungibelonging to the Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Claviceps speciesthat grow on forages and grains in the field and during storage (Ledoux andRottinghaus, 1999). It has been estimated that at least 300 fungal metabolitesare potentially toxic for man and...

Introduction: mold growth As we learn more about mycotoxins and make new discoveries in this area, we begin to realize that there are many unanswered questions involving these toxins. Mycotoxins are produced by molds, which are aerobic unicellular organisms. Mold growth can occur in environments that contain lower available water than would be needed to support bacterial growth. For example, bread will support mold growth but not bacterial growth under normal conditions. Just as...

Slicing away at contamination risk in fruit, Scottish scientists overcome obstacles to design a rapid test for the detection of the harmful mycotoxin patulin that occurs in naturally occurring moulds.
Researchers at the University of Strathclyde collaborated with industrial partner Adgen to develop monoclonal antibodies that bind uniquely to the patulin in infected fruit, such as apples, pears and grapes.
Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by certain species of Penicillium, Aspergillus, and...
