Vomitoxicosis (Micotoxins, vomitoxin, DON, Deoxynivalenol, Fusarium)
Vomitoxin is a mycotoxin that causes reduced feed intake, resulting in slow growth.
Description
Vomitoxin causes vomiting and reduced feed intake. Because the animal reduces its intake, intoxication in pigs is limited, but it causes reduced production.
Sows, nursery and fattening
- Vomiting.
- Go off feed.
- Slow growth.
- Crops affected by high humidity levels.
- It is very difficult to make a diagnosis because sometimes there is a low concentration of DON and several other mycotoxins present in the feed.
- Removal of suspected feed.
- Use absorptive products in feed.
