Assessing mycotoxin detoxification methods in feed

Different biomarkers for zearalenone (ZEN) and fumonisins were used to demonstrate the in vivo efficacy of 2 enzyme reparations for degradation of ZEN and fumonisins and the inability of 2 lignocellulose binders to adsorb ZEN in the GI tract of pigs. In vitro testing is a crucial step in the development of mycotoxin inactivation agents. However, in order to investigate the efficacy of mycotoxin deactivators in animals, in vivo studies are mandatory. The best-suited indicators for assessing myco
