Poultry, swine and dairy producers admit today that the presence of mycotoxins in the feed is one of the main factors affecting animal production and consider that mycotoxins are becoming as important as bacterial and viral diseases. This attitude represents a completely different approach to the importance given to mycotoxins in 1987 when the first mycotoxins adsorbent was launched into the global market. It is important to emphasize that as part of the evaluation of the first absorbents, a key factor in that evolution was to demonstrate protection of target organs. At that time most growers considered that mycotoxins did not represent a serious problem.
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 from the use of corn in ethanol production in the US.
We should point out that nowadays there are still some producers that confuse mycotoxicosis with other diseases.
