Mycotoxin Detection in Silage Feeds

Mycotoxins are an important risk in animal feed. Mycotoxin formation or contamination can be seen in feeds, pre-harvest and post-harvest storage and feeding processes. This situation is dangerous for animals fed with contaminated feed and people who consume products obtained from these animals. Exposure to high doses of mycotoxin can cause poisoning and even death.

The presence of mycotoxins in the feed;
• It causes a decrease in the nutritional value of the feed.
• It causes a decrease in the organoleptic quality of the feed.
• It causes production losses.
• It adversely affects animal health.
• They cause mycotoxin residues in animal products.

With the silage method, the amount of extra chemical additives or microbial inoculants can be reduced to prevent mycotoxin formation in feeds. However, Mycotoxin Analysis should also be done in Silage Feeds. Mycotoxin Analysis is important for ensuring food safety, especially animal health.
