Meta-analysis of individual and combined effects of mycotoxins on growing pigs

I think this is a very helpful contribution to our understanding of mycotoxicoses in pigs. Despite the limitations of this type of meta-analysis, it is very interesting to see the quantitative differences in feed intake and weight gain of pigs comparing individual and multiple co-contaminant challenges. This certainly helps us understand the increased severity of response when pigs are fed naturally-contaminated diets compared to the feeding of an equivalent amount of an individual mycotoxin. This also stresses the challenge in arriving at "safe" levels of feeding individual mycotoxins. Government regulatory guidelines should be changed to take this into account.
