TARGET ORGANS - The key to an effective mycotoxins adsorbent
Published:February 24, 2009
Summary
Poultry, swine and dairy producers admit today that the presence of mycotoxins in the feed is one of the main factors affecting animal production. As a result of the higher prices of feed ingredients, their quality is getting worse, with some grains showing higher levels of mycotoxins. High contamination levels can also be found in distillers grains, an ingredient in increasing supply, originated...
The condition of the animal plays a big role on the clinical and subclinical signs
In general
Biomarker: Aflatoxin M1 in milk A good quality mycotoxin binder will reduce M1 in milk in maximun 24 to 48 hours since the transformation of B1 into M1 is done in 12 hours. General Regulation EU max 50 ppt USA max 500 ppt
Sub clinical/clinical
Increase in Mastitis Increase in SCC Decrease in Milk production
Try to avoid using cotton seed cake because it not only ussualy has falatoxin but there is free fatty acid inside of it that increase the toxicity of Aflatoxin
Yes it does Cotton seed cake contains a free fatty acid cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) in numerous studies have shown that when both are present, it incrases the toxicity of Aflatoxin. The other problem is that in many ocasions cotton seed cake contains aflatoxin Regards Fernando
