Technology as an ally against mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites originating from fungi that can harm grain crops at all stages of production, potentially resulting in major economic losses for producers. In addition to the potential economic impact, mycotoxins can also have harmful health effects on animals and humans after consuming contaminated feed or food.

To help mitigate the effects of mycotoxin contamination, it is essential to implement a comprehensive management program, including frequent and consistent feed screening. Awareness of weather patterns and monitoring of moisture and humidity levels can be part of an effective management program.
