INTRODUCTION A Rising Call To Action As government-mandated and industry-driven hazard identification and prevention efforts become standard operating procedure for an expanding cross-section of the global feed industry, the need of its diverse stakeholders for fast, easy, cost-effective access to reliable aflatoxin data continues to intensify. Recognition of aflatoxins as a chemical hazard of very high concern spans the gamut of national and international regulatory...

Every raw ingredient has its own mycotoxins contamination, and this is why screen finished feeds is the key to avoiding unpleasant surprises and a high contamination level in feeds.The Adisseo Mycotoxin Management Program supports its customers with wet chemistry analysis of the feeds, in collaboration with various independent accredited laboratories around the world, through a service called MycoMan Test (Lab). Based on analysis of the levels of the main mycotoxins, MycoMan® Mobile App...
Mycoad and Mycoad AZ adsorb and retain mycotoxins in the gastrointestinal tract to be excreted through the feces, eliminating or diminishing toxicity and immunosuppression, with a significant improvement in animal performance. Know more about these products developed by Special Nutrients and distributed by APSN Biotech in Malaysia. Special Nutrients is a worldwide leading supplier of scientifically proven mycotoxins binders. ...

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:...
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....
I mean the safe level in chicken from day old to finisher stage, most important is dairy and beef fattening animals mostly people don't pay attention to their safe level ...
The mycotoxin contamination of grain harvested in a single year can differ from the mycotoxin patterns and levels of previous years in the same climatic region. Therefore, buying the newly harvested grain is like a betting game for the producer of animal feeds who has to deal with unknown, 'on-fire' contamination. Our MycoMan range of services allows the risk from the raw materials to the animals to be identified.

The average level of total B-trichothecenes (1534 μg/kg) was the highest detected in the past five years and according to our risk assessment presents a medium risk to sensitive animals. Levels of ZEA, BZEA, HT2 and FB1 were low and present a low risk for the animal health and performance. Considering the mycotoxin levels detected and the likelihood of multiple mycotoxins (detected in 34% of samples), there is a greater probability of observing negative...
What should we do if we have implemented all 3 of the 4 steps of the Mycotoxin Management Program – Forecast Crop Contamination, Secure Storage and Screen finished feed – and still find a multiple mycotoxin contamination in the feed? What if we do not have any choice in the matter, as animals need to be fed? We can try to avoid feeding such a feed to more sensitive species and age groups, although even low levels of mycotoxins can have negative effects on...
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring compounds produced by fungi growing on plants in the field or during storage. Even though toxigenic molds may grow under a given set of environmental conditions, they do not always produce mycotoxins. However, under the right conditions, mycotoxins can be generated fairly rapidly in the field or in storage. Mold identification can provide a direction to test for potential mycotoxins but does not confirm the presence...
