NEWS 8 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 Selko, the feed additive brand of Nutreco, will be sharing global mycotoxin research findings and inviting young scientists to propose next-generation strategies for addressing emerging mycotoxins, during the World Mycotoxin Forum (WMF) 15th Conference, 7-9 April in Salzburg, Austria. As a gold sponsor of the World Mycotoxin Forum, Selko is presenting nine scientific posters exploring the complex and costly challenges that mycotoxins pose to poultry, swine, ruminant and aquaculture species; as well as feed producers’ businesses. On Tuesday, 8 April from 16:45 to 17:45, Selko will host its third edition of the Young Scientists Forum. The informal gathering facilitates an exchange of ideas on how to better understand and mitigate emerging mycotoxins. Blending hospitality with ingenuity, the Young Scientists Forum aims to ignite young minds, stimulate new ideas and generate action points. Dr. Swamy Haladi, Global Technical Commercial Manager with Trouw Nutrition, will discuss how conducting differential diagnosis may help detect on-farm mycotoxin pressures that can lead to a dip in animal performance. His presentation, “Differential Diagnosis of Mycotoxicosis is Key for Effective Risk Management” will consider how the presence and concentration of mycotoxins can trigger problems that may be difficult to observe, but costly to a producer’s businesses. Dr. Haladi will discuss how producers can work with veterinarians, nutritionists and farm managers to conduct differential diagnosis and identify causative factors, helping in a timely mitigation response and potentially reducing economic losses.
