Selko, the feed additive brand of Nutreco, is playing a key role at the upcoming World Mycotoxin Forum (WMF) 15th Conference in Salzburg, Austria. Its involvement seems focused on tackling global mycotoxin challenges in livestock and feed, along with fostering innovation through the Young Scientists Forum.
Key highlights from their participation include:
-
Scientific Posters on Mycotoxin Challenges: Selko will present nine posters that cover a variety of mycotoxin-related issues across different species, including poultry, swine, ruminants and aquaculture. It will also explore the economic impacts mycotoxins have on feed producers.
-
Young Scientists Forum: On April 8, Selko will host the third edition of this forum. This informal event is designed to encourage young scientists to exchange ideas and explore new strategies to mitigate emerging mycotoxin threats.
-
Differential Diagnosis: Dr. Swamy Haladi from Trouw Nutrition will present on using differential diagnosis as a key tool for detecting and managing mycotoxin risks on farms, helping producers identify issues early and reduce economic losses.
-
Global and Regional Mycotoxin Analyses: Selko will share research focusing on global mycotoxin contamination, with special attention to regions like Asia, the EU and Latin America. This will include insights into how climate change and geopolitical factors are affecting mycotoxin levels in imported feed ingredients.
-
Mitigation Tools for Livestock Feed: Research presented by Selko will also explore how different mitigation tools—especially those with multiple modes of action—can more effectively manage mycotoxin contamination in livestock feeds, improving animal performance.
Dr. Haladi also emphasized the importance of ongoing research and innovation in tackling the complex mycotoxin challenges posed by climate change and other global factors.
