A dairy producer asked a simple question: "Every time I feed a clay binder, my cows' manure firms up. If it isn't binding the mycotoxins, why does that happen?" In this Letters from the Field episode, Scott Zehr and Dr. Larry Roth explore the science behind clay-based mycotoxin binders, manure consistency, gut health, and nutrient bioavailability. They explain why firmer manure doesn't always mean the underlying mycotoxin challenge has been addressed, review the research on how clay binders p...

If DON mycotoxins interfere with protein synthesis, how much milk protein could dairy cows be losing before clinical signs ever appear? In this Letters from the Field episode, Dr. Larry Roth explores the hidden cost of nutrient chaos. How mycotoxins can redirect nutrients away from production and toward defense, affecting rumen function, liver health, reproduction, immune ...
