Transmission of ZEN and DON from sows to piglets

Schothorst Feed Research studied the transmission of ZEN, DON, and their derivatives during gestation and lactation of sows. In this study the mycotoxin levels in colostrum and milk from sows was measured, as well as in the serum from sows and piglets. The key reason for the studies performed at Schothorst Feed Research (SFR) is to determine the risks of mycotoxins to animal health and performance under practical conditions. This means that we do not expose the animals to extremely high level
