There are many methods to test for toxins. Unfortunately, currently, the primary challenge is collecting representative feed samples. With this is the choice between speed and accuracy, leading my producers to perform two-part evaluations of their feed
Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by certain molds (fungi) that can contaminate various agricultural products, including animal feed. The presence of mycotoxins in animal feed can lead to reduced feed […]
Ergot bodies, which are produced by fungi in the Claviceps genera, particularly C. purpurea, are commonly referred to as ergot. These bodies store toxic alkaloids produced by the fungi. The […]
The important role of endotoxins in poultry production has aroused great interest in some regions. This is due to the fact that several products have been marketed in recent years that have positive effects on birds, while others have shown adverse effects on other species.
The identification of mild to moderate gizzard erosions (GE) in more than 20- 30% of the healthy commercial broilers examined in post mortem sessions, is commonly found in several countries in the Americas and Asia.
Modern laying hens have a high genetic potential to produce eggs. If they receive adequate environmental conditions, health, and nutrition, they can maintain over 90% of the laying rate for a long period of the productive cycle.
Do you want to know whether the mycotoxins measures made at the feed level have been successful? A look at the lesions found in the slaughterhouse could hold the answer. However, the changes present in poultry affected by mycotoxins can be microscopic.
In recent years, more attention has been paid to several types of toxins that frequently affect global animal production. Toxic substances—such as endotoxins, enterotoxins, exotoxins, and mycotoxins—are typically reported under field conditions and associated with animal health problems.
Mycotoxins and endotoxins are naturally occurring toxins posing a serious threat to animal production. Many harmful effects—leaky gut, mouth lesions, damaged villi—are linked to toxins’ capacity to induce oxidative stress […]
When dealing with mycotoxin contamination, the first problem is to diagnose and find out the original contamination level of the feed/grain. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to identify the […]
Reproductive failure is the most common cause of sow loss in production herds. These failures can affect individual pigs, but they can also be a farm problem. Any region of […]
In many poultry markets around the world where chicken viscera are commonly sold in supermarkets, the appearance of the liver is very important for marketing purposes.
Endotoxins are structural components of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. When the cell membrane is damage, free LPS activate the immune system.
Healthy and performing animals require toxin-free feed, Agrimprove experts believe sharing knowledge is imperative to supporting feed and food safety for future generations.
Currently, there is no cost-effective and practical method to detoxify mycotoxin-contaminated grain or feed on a large scale. That is why today, one of the most practical approaches to controlling […]
When exposed to stress, molds produce mycotoxins as a natural defense mechanism. The presence of these mycotoxins may vary greatly since the development of molds in the field (Fusarium) or […]
