Mycotoxins are a good example. Whereas just a few years ago, roughly 600 mycotoxins were recognized, today there are more than 700 known mycotoxins. Mitigating the risks that these toxic metabolites pose to animal and human health is made more complex by emerging mycotoxins and more extreme weather events driven by climate change. During the 15th World Mycotoxin Forum (WMF) in Salzburg, Austria, 7-9 April, delegates explored mycotoxins through the lens of “building a resilient food system in the digital decade.” Trouw Nutrition, a gold sponsor of WMF, contributed new research; presented innovative mitigation approaches to advance feed-tofood safety; and convened next-generation scientists to contribute novel ideas for managing mycotoxin risk. Below, we look at eight key takeaways from the 15th WMF. Takeaway 1: Rapid analysis can support faster detection and earlier mitigation Mycotoxins pose problems for stakeholders across the value chain. Tools that can quickly and accurately scan raw materials for harmful mycotoxins support the health and performance of animals.
