INTRODUCTION The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated that 25% of global food crops are contaminated with mycotoxins 1 . Recently, the prevalence of the mycotoxins detected in food and feed crops was reported to be up to 60–80%2 . Aflatoxins are the major ones among all mycotoxins and produced by Aspergillus spp. upon and after infection of crops. They are genotoxic and carcinogenic to animals and humans 3–6 . From the different...

In 2022 mycotoxins annual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 342 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed. The samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol (DON) by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: From January to December 2022, the import volume of feed corn was 4,383 thousand tons, and Brazil and Argentina is 32.05% and 31.27%, followed by South Africa...
INTRODUCTION Aflatoxins (AFs) in food and feed are recognized as a public health problem of considerable importance. Williams et al. (2004) estimated that 4.5 billion of the world’s population is exposed to AFs. Because security blankets in crops at pre-harvest and post-harvest level are not as strict as in developed countries, populations of developing countries are the most susceptible to aflatoxicosis illness (Williams et al., 2004). The same problem occurs with milk...
DON-V ONE is the world's first fully quantitative lateral flow strip test for finished feeds and pet foods. Available in two test ranges: 0-10 ppm (LOD: 0.2 ppm) and 0-40 pppm (LOD: 0.8 ppm), DON-V ONE works along with the Vertu TOUCH reader and Vertu PREP mixer to enable on-site and laboratory detection in virtually any finished feed or pet food formulation....
Glyphosate-V is the world's first fully quantitative lateral flow strip test for the measurement of glyphosate in cereal grains and water samples. Using intuitive, touch-screen automation, the Vertu TOUCH lateral flow reader is able to detect glyphosate at very low concentrations, with a detection range of 0 - 2 parts per million (ppm) and LOD of 0.025 ppm for wheat and oat samples. ...
Glyphosate-V is the world's first fully quantitative lateral flow strip test for the measurement of glyphosate in cereal grains and water samples. Using intuitive, touch-screen automation, the Vertu TOUCH lateral flow reader is able to detect glyphosate at very low concentrations, with a detection range of 0 - 0.5 parts per million (ppm) and LOD of 0.002 ppm for water samples.

In 2022 mycotoxins semiannual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 181 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed. The samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol (DON) by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: 181 feed samples collected, and 92% were contaminated with DON and 80% contaminated with Aflatoxins ( table 1 ). The maximum concentrations of...
1. Introduction Aspergillus is soil fungal species that have been recognized as a major contaminant of different grains utilized for poultry diets [1]. They grow rapidly under high moisture conditions and produce biologically active hepatotoxic aflatoxins [2]. Maize, cereals like rice, wheat, pistachios, cottonseed, copra groundnuts, and many other feed stuffs are contaminated by these fungal species [3–5]. Aflatoxin actually covers three words in accordance...
Introduction Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi. They are unavoidable contaminants in foods and feeds, exerting harmful effects upon animal and human health 39 . The most important mycotoxins in naturally contaminated foods and feeds are aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxins, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol and fumonisins 7,32 . Aflatoxin contaminated feeds are a severe threat to both livestock productivity and human health and cause...

Lanny Smith, Global Sales Manager at VICAM, speaks about Glyphosate-V, the world's first fully quantitative lateral flow strip test for the measurement of glyphosate in cereal grains and water samples. ...
Introduction: Fumonisins (FUM) are a group of mycotoxins mainly produced by Fusarium fungi. They represent a serious threat to swine production as this livestock species is the most sensitive to FUM. They have multiple effects in swine; best described is the impact on pulmonary edema diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the negative impact of 50 ppm fumonisins on piglet health and to evaluate a mycotoxin counteracting additive (containing fumonisin...
Among mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON), is one of the most prevalent and occurs worldwide in feed. Virginie Marquis, Toxicology R&D Manager at Phileo by Lesaffre, speaks about how to reduce the risk of DON for health of the livestock
