Although the prevalence of mycotoxins can be region-specific due to climate and post-harvest storage conditions, mycotoxin contamination in food and feed is a worldwide problem.<\/p>\n<p>Among hundreds of known mycotoxins, aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins (FBs), zearalenone (ZEA) and trichothecenes (DON, T-2, HT-2) are considered the major mycotoxins in animal production. The variety of clinical effects caused by mycotoxins after ingestion ranges\u00a0from reduced performance, suppressed immune function, organ damage, reduced gut health and nervous and reproductive system problems and depend on the type of mycotoxin, its dosage and the animal species. Significant economic losses are associated with mycotoxins due to their impact on animal performance.<\/p>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n

important to adopt good management and control practices to reduce their impact. These practices include correct sampling, fast and reliable analysis methods and taking appropriate measures based on the results. Sampling is one of the most crucial, but underestimated parts of the detection. Mycotoxins are not distributed homogeneously in the raw materials. Therefore, if representative samples are not taken from different parts of the bulk, the results will very possibly be negative for mycotoxins, generating a false sense of security.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n<div class=\"block block-title text-start pt-15 pt-md-20 pt-lg-30  \" data-aos=\"\" id=\"block_66f10605c16bcacee2ff6e2fc6163d9e\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col\">\n                <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h1 text-black\">Synergy<\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-editor text-left   \" data-aos=\"\" id=\"block_5961bdd752ec80ecf657836032f2858c\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col   text-left\">\n                \n                                    <div class=\"c-text\">\n                        <p>Another important point to keep in mind is the simultaneous presence of various mycotoxins in the raw materials. The presence of multiple mycotoxins can generate additive or synergistic effects, making the negative effect on health and production bigger than the sum of the individual effects. In addition, chronic exposure to low concentrations of mycotoxins results in non-specific symptoms which are difficult to track-and-trace down to mycotoxins. Consequently, the ingestion of multiple low-dose mycotoxins can result in more severe negative effects on animal performance and larger economic losses than an acute toxic dose.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n<div class=\"block block-title text-start pt-15 pt-md-20 pt-lg-30  \" data-aos=\"\" id=\"block_b3d99d0bbc1994a11d6aa22fa9acaa57\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-lg-7\">\n                <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h1 text-black\">Modified mycotoxins<\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-editor text-left   \" data-aos=\"\" id=\"block_1eabbe4857a0b8e098eb0a675ba23d21\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col   text-left\">\n                \n                                    <div class=\"c-text\">\n                        <p>Modified mycotoxins are derivatives of mycotoxins produced by fungi or formed by infected plants as part of their defense mechanism.

Common mycotoxins of concern in livestock production include aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, zearalenone, and trichothecenes. These compounds frequently contaminate feed ingredients during cultivation, harvest, transport, or storage, particularly under conditions of high humidity and temperature that favor fungal growth.<\/p>\n<p>Ingestion of mycotoxin-contaminated feed can lead to a wide spectrum of adverse physiological effects in animals, depending on the type and concentration of toxin, duration of exposure, and species susceptibility. Documented effects include gastrointestinal disturbances, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, reproductive failures, immune suppression, and reduced feed efficiency. Chronic exposure, even at subclinical levels, can compromise productivity and predispose animals to secondary infections due to impaired immune competence.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuring the production and provision of high-quality, contaminant-free feed is therefore essential for maintaining animal health and performance. Preventive strategies include implementing good agricultural and storage practices, routine monitoring for fungal and mycotoxin contamination, and the use of mycotoxin detoxifying agents or binders in feed formulations. Such integrated control measures are critical to safeguard livestock welfare, productivity, and the safety of animal-derived food
