NEWS 10 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health will be presenting new research at the World Mycotoxin Forum (WMF), April 7-9, 2025, providing key insights into global mycotoxin contamination trends and their impact on poultry gut health. Conducted by Cargill Micronutrition & Health Solutions – the business of Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health dedicated to delivering science-based micronutrition products, services, and digital solutions – these studies reinforce Cargill’s commitment to data-driven risk management and innovative solutions that enhance livestock performance, the company points out. Cargill pointed out the following highlights from its attendance to the upcoming WMF event: The research utilizes one of the world’s largest mycotoxin databases, built on over 400,000 analyses across more than 150 feed plants, farms, and storage locations worldwide. This data enables real-time tracking of contamination risks and helps feed producers make informed sourcing and quality control decisions. An example of distinct regional variations, this year’s European research highlights differences in mycotoxin risk across the region: • Southern Europe saw a lateyear surge in deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisin (FUM), and zearalenone (ZEN). • Northern and Eastern Europe experienced milder fluctuations, with DON levels significantly lower in 2024 than in 2023. • Co-occurrence remains a major challenge, with 78% of samples containing three or more mycotoxins.
