Can low levels of mycotoxins deteriorate your animal health and profitability?

Abstract

Mycotoxins are poisons produced by moulds and frequently occur in a variety of feedstuffs. The high frequency of occurrence, along with the concentrations at which they occur, suggest that mycotoxins are routinely consumed by animals, causing sub-clinical symptoms that subsequently result in production losses.
