ISSUE FOCUS 32 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2026 Mycotoxins remain one of the most unpredictable challenges in animal nutrition. By combining global data, rapid on‑site testing, digital interpretation tools, and targeted mitigation strategies, producers across all species can finally stay ahead and protect feed quality with confidence. Mycotoxins affect all animal species. Their impact is often subtle: reduced feed intake, weakened immunity, compromised gut integrity, slower growth, or impaired reproductive performance. Acute toxicity is rare, however low‑level, chronic multi‑contamination is frequent and can quietly erode animal performance. Traditional, reactive, year‑round mitigation approaches fail to account for the dynamic, fluctuating nature of mycotoxin risk within feed safety and quality control. Today, producers can adopt a more efficient model — one that adjusts to real-time conditions using data and technology. By integrating digital monitoring, data analysis, impact modeling, and mitigation decisions, proactive mycotoxin management becomes a strategic lever for P&L optimization rather than a line-item expense. Producers increasingly seek partners who can support their teams on this journey given its complexity — helping turn signals into action and success. Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH) provides integrated solutions for customers — the people, products, and platforms to mitigate mycotoxin risk and maintain competitive advantage with simple core principles: Monitor -> Identify -> Assess -> Treat. INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR MYCOTOXIN MANAGEMENT At Cargill Micronutrition & Health Solutions, we created MycoConnect, an online, virtual system that consolidates all four steps — Monitor, Identify, Assess, and Treat — into a practical, customer-friendly approach. Because the system operates entirely online, it delivers real-time information and results, eliminating the need for manual data entry and ensuring faster, more accurate decision-making . Each step is organized into dedicated modules, providing users with intuitive, actionable tools throughout the entire mycotoxin management process. 1. Monitor: Seeing the Bigger Picture Mycotoxin patterns are never static. Weather variability, ingredient sourcing, storage conditions, and fungal ecology all influence contamination. Two shipments of the same ingredient may look identical but differ dramatically in risk. Detailed country‑or region-specific mycotoxin reports can help nutritionists build risk‑adapted procurement SAFE FEED THROUGH SMART MYCOTOXIN CONTROL Clement Soulet Global Mycotoxin Expert Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health
