Any number of harvest, storage and handling practices can set the stage for mold and mycotoxin growth, which can be detrimental and potentially dangerous for livestock. From the fields to feed bins, mycotoxins pose challenges. But with a little background and knowledge, livestock producers can better prevent, recognize and manage mycotoxin contamination. That’s the reason behind Phibro’s seven-part MYCOmpass webinar series, which brings together the industry’s top experts in molds and mycotoxins to educate livestock producers and nutritionists about the issue.
In the first of these webinars, Dr. Lon Whitlow, professor emeritus, NC State University, leads a webinar titled “An Introduction to Mold and Mycotoxins: Toxic Effects and Preventative Management” to proPhibrovide producers with mold and mycotoxins identification, prevention and treatment techniques.
Whitlow’s webinar sets the stage for a series of six more mycotoxin webinars to be offered by Phibro Academy, as part of Phibro’s MYCOmpass mycotoxin awareness initiative. Other topics include:
- Mycotoxins and Food Security: Looking Beyond the Impacts of Mycotoxins on Animal Agriculture
- Smart Strategies for Effective Mycotoxin Management
- New Studies and Trends in Understanding the Role of Mycotoxins in Feed Production
- New Methods for Evaluation of Mycotoxin Mitigation Strategies
- Understanding Multi-Mycotoxin Analysis Strategies
- New Technologies and Approaches to Deal with Mycotoxins
Registration for Phibro Academy is free.
