Mycotoxins are common in field and farms contaminating feed materials. More than 500 different mycotoxins have been identified till now and as many surveys have revealed that most animal feedstuffs are likely to be contaminated with multiple mycotoxins.
For poultry producers, mycotoxin presence is most likely to be seen as a subtle, chronic problem rather than an acute issue. However, all cases will result in reduced performance and lost profits.
