Mycotoxin Management

Mycotoxin threat found in 2013 North American corn harvest

All of the corn and corn silage samples submitted during the 2013 harvest tested positive for multiple mycotoxins, according to a recent harvest analysis conducted by global animal health and nutrition company Alltech. The Alltech Harvest Analysis North America (HANA) survey tested 101 samples from across the U.S. and Canada and demonstrated the need for producers to implement a mycotoxin management program to monitor the effects of toxins on all species throughout 2014.

Webinar presents mycotoxin strategies for 2013 corn harvest

Register for the free webinar, "Mycotoxin Strategies for the 2013 Corn Harvest," which will take place November 19, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. Central and feature Dr. Raj Murugesan, technical specialist at BIOMIN, and Christy Swoboda, laboratory director and quality manager at Romer Labs. The 2013 corn crop has been under significant stress; as a result the overall quality is a concern to livestock and poultry producers. BIOMIN and Romer Labs will discuss quality findings and possible effects to livestock and poultry.

Feed Additives

Improved animal performance starts with proper preservation of feed byproducts

Historically, the use of chemicals (acids and their salts) in feed conservation is a tried-and-true method used to protect stored feed and byproducts from bacterial, mold and yeast contamination. This article provides research to support how the use of propionic acid and sodium benzoate preservative products can reduce the risk of feed contamination and improve profits.

Biotransformation: A new era in counteracting trichothecenes in animal feed

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring, toxic compounds, produced by fungi that infects agricultural crops, particularly cereals and oilseeds. Infection can occur during the growth and storage of crops, but also later on in processed foods and feeds.

Growers must stay on top of mycotoxin risks

While conditions so far this season have not had a big impact on mycotoxin risk scores because the two biggest factors are rainfall during flowering and rainfall at harvest, the late season may affect T3 applications and growers should remain on top of potential risks, according to Dr. Simon Oxley, senior research and knowledge transfer manager with the Home Grown Cereals Authority in the UK.

Mycotoxin management: The importance of a coordinated program for feed mills

A coordinated mycotoxin management program at a feed mill begins with a comprehensive quality assurance program that includes more than merely testing for mycotoxins during the receiving process. The quality assurance program must also have strategies to prevent their introduction into the manufacturing process and minimize mold growth that could produce mycotoxins during grain storage, feed processing and finished feed storage on the farm.

Ingredients

Optivite Ultrabond mycotoxin protection

Optivite's Ultrabond mycotoxin protection is a mycotoxin binder for animal feed, ideal for those feeds and feedstuffs that cannot be checked on a regular basis or where other preventative methods have failed. Ultrabond has a dual-action activity, which involves a combination of immune-supportive agents that empower the hepatic detox processes, together with an optimum balance of aluminosilicates.
