Mycotoxins and animal performance

Mycotoxins can greatly affect health and productivity. There are a wide range of different mycotoxins, so a simple approach will not solve the problem. A combination of control measures are essential to reduce hazards. The growth of moulds and hence the production of mycotoxins is determined primarily by environmental conditions and management factors. Environment These organisms require air, moisture, and a source of nutrients, including readily digestible carbohydrates. Some moulds, includi
