Abstract
Mycotoxins are prevalent in nearly all feed grains worldwide. Produced by fungi in cereal grains, corn and corn byproducts such as distillers dried grains (DDGS), mycotoxins in feed cause a cascade of problems in poultry production. Managing these contaminants is essential to maintaining bird performance and overall operation profitability.
