During the broadcast, the panel of experts shared timely insights into this year’s harvest conditions and emerging mycotoxin risks, including these highlights: • Changing climate trends are no longer anecdotal — weather data clearly shows their direct impact on crop production. As noted by panelist Dr. Jan Dutton, meteorologist and CEO of CropProphet, warming temperatures have extended growing seasons across much of the U.S. Midwest by as much as two weeks over the past 40 years, while precipitation patterns are shifting toward fewer but more intense rainfall events. Together, these changes are increasing the frequency of excess moisture events, making what were once considered “rare” occurrences far more common, and something producers must now plan for and expect. • Elevated mycotoxin findings in key regions, including significantly higher levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2/HT-2 toxins in feed across all species, with an increased frequency of DON being detected across the U.S. and in over 40% of samples in Canadian grain. • Accelerated progress has been made in mycotoxin predictive models, and as we continue to utilize growing data sets and more advanced AI tools, we can expect to see expedited results in the coming years. “What we’re seeing is a convergence of factors — changing weather patterns, increased variability in crop quality and the presence of both known and emerging mycotoxins — that is making risk more complex and more frequent,” said Dr. Alexandros Yiannikouris, Research Group Director at Alltech.
