Mycotoxins in cattle<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nPRACTICAL FACTS AND FIGURES<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAll over the world, mycotoxins impact animals and humans alike. In animal production, they are of particular concern in certain sectors, such as pork and poultry, species that are more vulnerable to the toxic effects of these food contaminants.\r\n\r\nCattle are generally considered less susceptible, given the degradation and even inactivation of mycotoxins in the rumen. However, this protective capacity is not foolproof.\r\n\r\nThe issue of mycotoxins in beef and dairy herds is complex and raises many questions. At the farm level, the problem is not easy to identify, let alone manage.\r\n\r\nResearchers are showing an increasing interest in the topic, but many questions remain unanswered. Without going in-depth, this report is representative of the current evidence available.\r\n\r\nThe goal was to provide practical and factual information to make recommendations, take appropriate actions and implement the correct prevention practices.\r\n\r\nThis report will provide producers, stakeholders, agronomists and veterinarians with the necessary elements to analyze the situation and make informed decisions.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
