Mycotoxin Feed Testing
Mycotoxin feed testing is the process of analyzing animal feed and feed ingredients for toxic compounds (mycotoxins) produced by certain molds, primarily species of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. Testing helps protect animal health, maintain productivity, and ensure compliance with feed safety regulations.
Common mycotoxins tested
Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) – Often found in maize, peanuts, and cottonseed.
Ochratoxin A – Common in cereals and stored grains.
Fumonisins – Frequently found in corn.
Deoxynivalenol (DON) – Common in wheat, barley, and corn.
Zearalenone – Can affect reproduction in livestock.
