ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2026 33 and enhanced mycotoxin testing strategies. Monitoring does not eliminate uncertainty, but it brings clarity. With the Monitor module, producers can leverage Cargill’s world‑leading mycotoxin database (over 389,000 analyses from 41 countries) to access global and regional insights and explore contamination trends through www.mycotoxins.com. Cargill’s 2025 Global Mycotoxin Report, one of the most comprehensive analyses of mycotoxin contamination in animal feed ingredients around the world, can be found on the site. 2. Identify: Fast, Easy Testing Identification is not about testing everything — it is about testing the right materials at the right time. Ingredients with a history of higher mycotoxin prevalence, variable supplier quality, or abnormal physical appearance (e.g., damaged, moldy, or visibly altered grains) should be prioritized. Rapid on‑site devices allow MycoConnect customers to test directly at the feed mill or farm and make timely decisions. Our Identify module includes specialized laboratory services and partnerships with leading rapid‑test technology providers. Customers can easily implement testing routines in their feed mill or on‑farm with expert support. 3. Assess: Turning Results into Decisions A single test does not answer the question: “What does this mean for my animals and my business?” Proper feed assessment integrates toxin levels, species sensitivity, feed composition, and local conditions. This step is essential for choosing efficient, economical actions and maximizing performance. This is why our Assess module centralizes all test results — whether from on‑farm devices, customer labs, or ANH labs — and generates species‑specific risk reports. These include contamination summaries featuring risk severity, potential symptoms, estimated performance loss, financial impact, and recommended mitigation actions. A global network of ANH mycotoxin experts supports customers at every step. “The MycoConnect module delivers instant, automated analysis that saves valuable time and supPhoto: Cargill
