Knowledge is power when it comes to effectively managing the dynamic challenge that mycotoxins pose to the productivity of livestock operations. Choosing the right mycotoxin test for your business is a crucial step in managing this challenge. In this episode of Mycotoxin Matters, we are joined by Dr. Alexandra Weaver to discuss the key differences between the available testing methods and what to consider when choosing a method for your business.
In this month's episode we are joined by Dr. Alexandra Weaver and Dr. Alexandros Yiannikouris to discuss the category of emerging mycotoxins.
As our laboratory analysis for mycotoxins becomes more adaptable, we are observing a growing number of members in the emerging mycotoxins group. Consequently, individuals from this group are now more commonly detected than prominent mycotoxins like DON and fumonisin. Understanding the prevalence of these mycotoxins is crucial, especially since recent studies associate their existence with adverse performance in specific species. Discover more about the prevalence and research with emerging mycotoxins in this episode.
In this episode of Mycotoxin Matters, we are joined by Gordon Marley, Global Silage Support Lead at Alltech who takes us back to basics on forage management.
Forage quality has become an important topic globally, as beef and dairy producers have sought to increase animal productivity and make more use of total mixed rations or TMRS.

A year that promised so much for Indian corn producers turned out much the opposite when crops began being harvested. Fertiliser shortages, adverse weather conditions and pest damage all played a role in driving down the yield and quality of both the earlier and later harvests (Rabi and Kharif).

In recent years, with a look to creating a healthier and more sustainable diet, plant-based alternatives such as dairy and meat substitutes have been developed in order to reduce the consumption of animal-based foods. As these plant-based alternatives continue to develop and expand within the market, the question arises: 'what do we know about the mycotoxin-related health impacts of shifting to a plant-based diet?'
We are joined by Professor Chiara Dall'Asta to discuss a study that was recently published in the Journal of Exposure and Health, which assessed this topic.
