Mycotoxin survey for feed and feed ingredients in Asia Pacific

Abstract

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by toxigenic fungi, which result in mycotoxicosis when ingested, affecting animals' health adversely. The prevalence of mycotoxin contaminations in feed and agricultural commodities may consequently lead to economic losses and pose a perpetual challenge in the feed industry.
