By: dsm-firmenich: dsm-firmenich, the leading innovator in health, nutrition and beauty, has released the results of the World Mycotoxin Survey from January to September 2024. Since 2004, dsm-firmenich has tracked mycotoxin contamination in global feed supplies. Each year, they analyze a massive dataset of feed samples collected worldwide. This data is published in the annual World Mycotoxin Survey.
Mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, trichothecenes, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone, are naturally produced by the fungi that can contaminate feed raw materials in the field and during storage. When ingested by animals, mycotoxins have a wide range of negative effects such as impaired reproduction, digestive disorders, carcinogenicity, and reduced performance.
A total of 17,675 samples were collected and analyzed from 91 countries around the world. The results concluded that deoxynivalenol, fumonisins and zearalenone are most frequently found, with the highest regions of mycotoxins found in North and Central America, South Asia and China and Taiwan.
