Welcome to the page about Mycotoxins of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Mycotoxins.
ABSTRACT
This review article illustrates the efforts which were done throughout thirty two years in the field of mycotoxins; whether for developing the detection methods of some mycotoxins, detection of natural occurrence of some mycotoxins, preserving methods against fungal invasion and mycotoxins production, describing the toxic symptoms of some mycotoxicoses by different animal species, or treating...

Dear Users,
This is an interesting forum from our Spanish community, generated Lucrecia Gonzalez Valero from Spain:
Is it possible to use this technique for the qualitative determination of mycotoxins?
If so what would be the protocols and fluorescence spectra??
Thank you.

1.- HT-2 toxin and trichotecene mycotoxins
The HT-2 toxin belongs to the group A of the trichotecene toxins. These mycotoxins are produced by molds of the genus Fusarium , such as, Fusarium tricinctum, F.nivale, F.roseum, F.graminearum, F.solani, F.oxysporum, F.lateritium, F.sporotrichioides, F.rigidiusculum, F.episphaeria and F.poae . Other molds also can produce trichotecene...

Dear Users,
This is an interesting forum from our Spanish community, generated by Ester Gómez from Spain:
We are a research group that seeks to develop a methodology for AFM1 by HPLC analysis, previous extraction in immune-columns, based on the ISO14501 guidelines and AOAC. Despite being a widely studied topic we found the following practical problems:
- In certain solvents or mixture of these, eg:. methanol, standard AFM1 presents some additional peaks found when the pattern is...

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...

INTRODUCTION
Among the physical, chemical and biological methods that are available against mycotoxins (CAST, 2003; Gimeno & Martins, 2006), we have the use of Anti-Mycotoxins Additives (AMA). Most of them act by a quimi-adsorption effect inside the animal and should have an effective capacity to bond the mycotoxins and block them in the gastrointestinal tract. They should form a stable and irreversible...

Hi! this is an extract from a piece of news from Illinois Farm Bureau:
The grain bin is always a potentially lethal environment. But a wet fall and late harvest have heightened imminent and unseen risks for producers and rural rescuers.
Storage of wetter corn poses a greater danger of fungal mycotoxin development and inhalation. Mycotoxins are potential carcinogens that resist decomposition in the body and imperil the long-term health both of producers and rescue workers exposed to mold....

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...

Hi folks, Ohio is is suffering lately of vomitoxin, here are some suggestions, what do you think?? Abnormally cool, wet weather late in the production season and during harvest in Ohio has resulted in widespread levels of vomitoxin contamination of harvested grain – a mycotoxin harmful to humans and animals caused by the fungal pathogen Gibberella zeae. The fungus causes Gibberella corn ear rot, resulting in moldy grain when environmental conditions are...

A key bacterial compound that inhibits the growth of the plant pathogen Fusarium verticillioides has been identified by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists. The compound could help protect plants, livestock and poultry from fusarium infection.
The compound is produced by Bacillus mojavensis strain RRC101. Finding better controls for F. verticillioides is important because fumonisin...

A few days ago, Engormix published the news that LAMIC created a space in their website for buyers of Anti-Mycotoxin Additives (AMA) to verify if a manufaturer of this type of product have been approved, for what specie and for which mycotoxin. The companies that have their products approved will have their own individual code to obtain access to such information.
It is important to recall that the...
