Multi-mycotoxins, an underestimated risk

One single fungus can produce different mycotoxins which can lead to several cases of co-contaminations. Various mycotoxins produced by different fungi can also be present at the same time in raw materials and feeds. Multi-mycotoxin contaminations can induce additive, synergistic and antagonistic effects. Mycotoxins are natural contaminants of animal feeds and feed ingredients. They are present in cereal grains as well as forages and produced by fungi under certain conditions of moisture and te
