Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungal growth on plants during handling and storage. Some toxins are more common in temperate or tropical regions, but most fungi and mycotoxins are found worldwide. Mycotoxins affect animal productivity, animal health, and product quality.

Controlling mycotoxins is essential for good margins and your return on investment, as well as good product quality.

Mycotoxins can Harm livestock in different ways:

1. Animals that eat less or refuse to eat

2. Animals absorb or metabolize fewer nutrients than food

Aflatoxin, ochratoxin, trichothecene, vomitoxin, and zearalenone are the main mycotoxins produced by fungi or molds growing on grains. They mainly affect corn, wheat, and barley, but aflatoxins also affect cottonseed, peanuts, and soybeans.

How to fight mycotoxins?

First, you need to pay attention to mycotoxins in animals to protect your investment and margins. A binder that removes mycotoxins from the animal's harmless system is a top priority treatment. Significant improvement, and in some cases full recovery, is achieved within 30 days.

Second, clean the bed more often and keep it mold-free.

Finally, use mold inhibitors in the grains themselves to prevent future infections. It is impossible to completely eliminate the conditions under which mold thrives in grain stores, but they can be controlled through the use of mold inhibitors.
