The relevance of mycotoxin mitigating strategies on dairy farms
When the relevance of mycotoxin mitigating strategies in dairy farms was discussed in the past, the focus was on managing aflatoxin B1 in the...
Mycotoxins as contributors to antibiotic resistance?
Given the widespread presence of Deoxynivalenol in food and animal feed, its potential role in antibiotic resistance poses a serious threat. The combination of...
Managing the health risks of emerging mycotoxins
In recent years, advances in analytical techniques and food safety monitoring have led to a growing body of research focused on emerging mycotoxins (EMs)—a...
Harnessing organic acids to combat moulds and preserve grain quality
Grain, being a living organism, generates heat and moisture during respiration. These conditions can quickly deteriorate grain quality if not properly controlled. Maintaining optimal...
Tackling Fumonisins: A new era in animal health
The alterations caused by fumonisins in cellular metabolism have significant consequences in various tissues. For example, in the intestinal epithelium, inhibition of cell division...
Mycotoxin testing for millers: Ensuring safe and high-quality feed
Mycotoxins, toxic compounds produced by fungi, pose a significant risk to both human health and animal welfare. As millers, it is crucial to understand...
Managing mycotoxin risks in Asia-Pacific aquaculture
Geographical regions also vary in their susceptibility to the different mycotoxin types. For instance, storage mycotoxins such as aflatoxin and ochratoxin A are of...
Epigenetics and immunity, health, and longevity in dairy cows
Epigenetic activation begins within the first few days of life. Calves receiving insufficient colostrum or nutritional restriction during critical developmental periods typically underperform later...
Feed Efficiency: The challenge of a dairy cow
It is well known that the most efficient diets are the most profitable. Maximising feed intake and milk production is thus essential to improve...
Sustainable Animal Nutrition: Innovations & Challenges
Sustainability in animal nutrition is essential for reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Through the adoption of alternative proteins, feed efficiency improvements, and emission-reducing innovations,...
