Mycotoxins - Adsorbents, binders, tests

Welcome to the page about Mycotoxins - Adsorbents, binders, tests of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Mycotoxins - Adsorbents, binders, tests.
In 2021 mycotoxins semiannual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 163 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: 163 feed samples collected, and 74.8% were contaminated with Zearalenone and 71.8% contaminated with Aflatoxins (table 1). The maximum concentrations of...

1. Introduction The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimated that 25% of the cereal production is contaminated by mycotoxins [1]. Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 )—the major secondary metabolite of Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius—has adverse effects on humans and animals that result in health disorders and economic losses. To avoid these harmful effects, many physical, chemical, and biological decontamination...

1. Introduction One of the main toxic factors in dairy products is the concentration of mycotoxins, which are secondary metabolites produced by organisms of the fungus kingdom [1]. They can cause diseases and even deaths either in humans or in animals [2]. The term “mycotoxin” is usually intended for the toxic chemical products of fungi. The fungi consume organic matter where humidity and temperature are adequate. If the conditions are appropriate, fungi proliferate...

The safety and quality of feed materials, such as grain, is a high-profile topic of great importance. Grain is an important and significant source of contamination in the food chain and it also carries the risk of the consumers being exposed to toxins. As grain storage is an integral part of the food and feed supply chain, the storage operations of grain should include the control of any potential hazards (insects, molds, mycotoxins etc.) which could compromise the safety and quality of...

Protect animals - Mycotoxin Management
The addition of mycotoxin sequestrants to mycotoxin contaminated diets has been considered the most promising dietary approach to reduce the negative effect of mycotoxins. Adisseo has developed a portfolio composed of Unike® Plus, Toxy-Nil® Plus and Toxy-Nil® to propose the best-suited solution to a specific challenge. Toxy-Nil® : Reliable protection against moderate-level mycotoxin contamination Toxy-Nil® Plus: Powerful protection against broad-spectrum mycotoxin contamination Unike® Plus:...

Mycotoxins: Secure Storage
Several strategies can be adopted to control the growth and development of moulds, and hence reduce their effects on the quality of feeds and feed material, and on animal performance. An important strategy is an appropriate storage, whereby many of the problems can be alleviated if the feeds and feed material are stored in clean and well-ventilated silos. A second way of controlling moulds and any further accumulation of mycotoxins is the use of chemicals, such as mould inhibitors....

INTRODUCTION For feed chain stakeholders in an increasingly competitive marketplace, the bottom line can rise or fall with the contaminant levels in grain and other raw materials. The repercussions of feedstuffs that fail to meet the highest safety and quality standards can spread across the entire value chain, jeopardizing livestock health and the reputation and economic performance of multiple businesses and entire growing regions. Ultimately, toxic contaminants that slip...

Chiara Dall’Asta, food chemistry professor at the University of Parma, debates the use of C-13 internal standards in mycotoxins analysis.   Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites, occurring in a wide spectrum of food and feed commodities worldwide. They may exert acute and chronic adverse effects on humans and animals. In consideration of the typical mycotoxin co-occurrence in crops and their extensive combination in food, co-exposure to...

Introduction Globally, the ever-increasing demand for protein consumption (via meat production) in a sustainable manner, requires further reduction of the overall production cost. Feed cost remains key to this. However, variability of raw material costs and the complex load of mycotoxins contamination continue to negatively impact productivity.  On top of that, animal health and productivity are affected by a number of other stress...
