Introduction Fungal contamination in grains is a serious issue for modern animal production. Mold growth is associated with decreased nutrient content in animal feedstuff (Vieira, 2003). Furthermore, the development of fungi under specific conditions may lead to another major threat: mycotoxin production. In past decades, over one quarter of the world’s food crop production was estimated to be contaminated with mycotoxins (CAST, 2003). Mycotoxins are secondary fungal...

Deoxynivalenol and fusaric acid have been shown to sequentially elevate brain tryptophan, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations, and these neurotransmitters can lead to a decrease in feed intake. Zearalenone (ZON) and its metabolites (α- and β-zearalenol), α-zearalenol is the predominant metabolite of ZON in pigs. The ZON and its metabolites disrupt reproductive processes via mimicking of the action of...

Zearalenone (ZEA) also known as F-2 toxin is a mycotoxin mainly produced by Fusarium fungi in foods and feeds which exists in warm and humid storage, contaminants of corn, wheat, barley or other cereal. ZEA has strong toxicity effect on animal reproduction and deformity causes growth retardation, weakened immunity and reproductive problems. Moreover, ZEA can induce the threat of tumour and destroy immune system, showing that this series of toxins to humans and animals produce harm,...

Clinical case Two commercial farms in Mexico with reproductive disorders were studied. They have a total of 2.000 sows, one farm has 800 and the other 1.200. Abortions at different stages of gestation were observed, both gilts and sows were affected (Fig.1). Different types of antibiotics were used to diminish the clinical signs or abortions but they were not effective, the abortions continued. The abortions did not include mummies but the fetuses and embryos were degenerated,...

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...

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

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....
