Biomin Mycotoxin Survey Indicates Higher Mycotoxin Risks in Corn and Feed in 2017
Worldwide, deoxynivalenol and fumonisins continue to top the list of most prevalent mycotoxins. Most countries in Asia have shown an increased risk of mycotoxin contamination.
Clinical case: Importance of mycotoxins control for pig health: diarrhea, edema disease and E. coli vaccination failure in weaners
We were called for clinical problems on weaners that appeared a few days after a feed transition in a farrow-to-finish farm: swelling of the eyelids and forehead, incoordination, dyspnea and sudden death.
Clinical case: Diffuse reproductive problems in high health conditions
The owner contacted us because he has seen a reduction in performance in recent months, although no decline has been identified in any particular parameter. He says that, overall, “the sows are doing worse".

Mycotoxins in pig production. Definition, classification and toxic effects
Given the complexity of the problem caused by mycotoxins in pig production, we must come up with a preventive strategy in order to attain a contamination level that is as low as possible.
Feeds contaminated with aflatoxins detected in Holland and Germany
The German and Dutch authorities have informed of the presence of feeds containing maize contaminated with aflatoxins.
Sampling for contaminants in animal feed
The aim of the video is to present facts about sampling of microbiological and chemical contaminants that may be present in animal feed and make them more readily available for people working in the feed industry. The video is based upon work with Salmonella and mycotoxins in the EU-project Biotracer.
Mycotoxin binder used in contaminated diets on growing pig performance
The use of a commercial mycotoxin binder improves growth performance of pigs fed contaminated diets with deoxynivalenol.
Alltech Makes Three-Pointer at World Mycotoxin Forum-IUPAC
