Mycotoxin contamination: food growing - harvesting - storage - livestock feed, the entire process everywhere.
1) common mycotoxin contamination very low, difficult to detect.
2) Analysis of the current test fee is high and it is difficult to give an accurate assessment of mycotoxins.
3) clinical symptoms of endotoxin contamination may not be obvious or less typical. Mycotoxins cause symptoms, such as drowsiness, reduced feed intake, poor growth performance or enhanced susceptibility to infection, etc., are likely to be caused by other health or feeding and management factors.
4) Although there is a clear national standards limiting the content of mycotoxins, but mycotoxins no typical dose-dependent.
5) interaction between mycotoxins is not easy to identify. Feed often contain different types of mycotoxins, some of which can not be accurately identified mycotoxins, leading to mycotoxins action effect interpretation difficult. Although the crop growing, harvesting and during storage, take a lot of preventive measures toxin generation, but mycotoxin contamination remains. Therefore, the success of the harvest detoxification process is very important. Animal feed is added to prevent mycotoxin adsorbent, especially aflatoxin poisoning of common measures. Mycotoxin adsorbent can adsorb toxins in the digestive process in the gastrointestinal tract to reduce the amount of toxins absorbed into the bloodstream. Effective mycotoxin adsorbent adsorbing specific requirements of both the polar groups, but also requires a suitable locations for the adsorption. Thus, only some types of mycotoxins can be adsorbed efficiently (eg aflatoxins).
