NEWS 20 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2026 Mycotoxins are an often underestimated risk in modern livestock production. Invisible to the eye and variable from batch to batch, these toxins produced by molds in feed ingredients can weaken animals’ immune systems, reduce feed efficiency, and in severe cases lead to illness or losses. Vilofoss, a global supplier in the premix and nutrition sector, introduced a new range of toxin binders developed and tested in Denmark and across Europe. The company stated that the new MYCOSAFE range is designed to help reduce the impact of the most relevant mycotoxins in pigs, poultry, and ruminants, supporting stable production even when raw material quality fluctuates. “The mycotoxin profile varies from batch to batch of raw materials. With MYCOSAFE, customers get a solution that is easy to dose, and independent laboratory tests confirm it helps mitigate the impact of the most relevant toxins,” says Jacob Dall, Innovation Manager at Vilofoss. According to the statement, when used as part of the daily feeding strategy, MYCOSAFE supports feed quality management in practice, offering easier handling for producers and better conditions for maintaining consistent productivity. “Farmers need confidence in stable production levels, even when mycotoxins occasionally appear in feed,” Dall adds.

The initiative aims to help feed mills and dairy farmers maximize profitability, improve herd health, and reduce environmental impact through precision feeding. Today, dairy farmers face critical challenges such as producing more milk efficiently with fewer resources (reducing protein fed and nitrogen excreted in the environment), maximizing herd health and reproduction, and ensuring the profitability and sustainability of the dairy operation. According to the statement from Adisseo, amino acid (AA) balancing formulation and precision feeding are proven solutions to address these challenges. The company points out that not all dairy diets are AA-balanced, representing a missed opportunity for the dairy industry. Adisseo states that for over 30 years, millions of dairy cows worldwide have benefited from AA-balanced diets, delivering consistent results in milk yield, milk component and lifetime performance, contributing to cows’ health and high reproductive performance. Adisseo’s extensive research programs, conducted in collaboration with leading universities, have demonstrated the effectiveness of AA balancing. A recent IFCN evaluation of 18 typical European farms across 9 countries estimated the implementation of AA balancing could increase annual income by €293 per cow per year.
