Alltech 2015 Harvest Analysis confirms swine and poultry feed at risk for mycotoxins

Published: December 1, 2015
Summary
A wet spring and a late dry season took its toll on the 2015 North America crop, producing irregularities in plant growth and now putting poultry and swine at risk for mycotoxin exposure, according to Alltech’s North America Harvest Analysis. The annual study surveyed 100 North American corn samples from across the United States and Canada from September to November 2015, testing for myc...

So what do we do to mitigate the threat? Do we change the kind of feed we use? Or is there a medication or probiotic we can use?

it is very difficult to manage properly mycotoxins. there are not much products that can mitigate or reduce the amount of ppm's in an infected wheat or barley. In my experience, I have implemented the following methods: 1. if you have a good bin storage capacity, separate the ingredients by level of mycotoxins and use it accordingly. mix low levels of micotoxin grains with high levels to achieve a level in which the animals are not susceptible. 2. according with the level of micotoxins in the sample, create a program to received just feed within the levels of your program and reject all other grain that can increase your levels. both options need a mycotoxin detection program. eventually, we need to find a way to mitigate micotoxins in our grains. the report is conclusive in say, be careful, you are dealing with at least 3 mycotoxins in your feeds.

Well , though its correct that dealing with mycotoxins is much difficult talsk, but keeping Cereals in sunlight for 24-48 hrs, can decrease the dose of mycotoxins. As ultravoilet rays in sunlight inactivate the certain mycotoxins. So this practice should also be used alongwith the upmentioned regimes to combat mycotoxins.

Sun drying is not practical at feed millers level. Once the The damage has started or commodity is at risk then mixing of grains after lab testing n use of mold inhibitors n toxin binders seems the practical options. Dr yaser. MPhil A.N
