Mycotoxins are produced from moulds and fungi. This problem can occur in any stored feeds, such as silages or moist feeds or importantly, on the growing crop in the field.
Under stress conditions, including heat or cold, moisture, flooding or drought, moulds produce mycotoxins. Although the presence of mould does not necessarily mean you have mycotoxins and just because you can't see anything, doesn't mean you are safe either.
The presence of mycotoxins could result in: reduced dry matter intake, reduced yield, poor fertility, abortions, poor growth of youngstock and scouring, lameness and sore hocks.
There was a letter recently published in the farming press from a dairy farmer in Wiltshire about his use of a product called MYCOSORB. He was experiencing, within his herd, lameness, sore hocks, reduced yield and scouring. Having called in his vet and various other consultants the conclusion was reached that the possibilities of mycotoxins causing the problems (although no moulds could be seen) was the root of the problem.
Within 4 days of introducing the product MYCOSORB his yields had increased by 4½ litres and the other associated problems started to go away. Now, a few months later, he says that his herd has never looked better and the problems have disappeared.
