The impact of mycotoxins on health and performance - prevention options
Mycotoxins form a diverse group of toxic secondary metabolites produced by filamentous micromycetes. These low-molecular-weight substances are produced before harvest, during harvest, and throughout the subsequent storage of raw materials and feed. They are highly resistant to any technological treatment and elimination. Due to their strong toxicity, diversity of toxic effects, and mutual synergistic action of individual mycotoxins, they are considered hazardous substances for consumers of contaminated feed and food.
