What is mycotoxin mitigation?
Mycotoxin mitigation refers to the proactive strategy of identifying, assessing, and reducing the presence and effects of mycotoxins in animal feed to protect livestock health and performance. In intensive farming systems, animals are frequently exposed to various stressors, including environmental changes, infections, and dietary shifts, that can compromise their immune function and increase their susceptibility to oxidative stress.
When combined with mycotoxin exposure, these stressors can synergistically impair organ function, reduce productivity, and exacerbate disease risks. Even chronic, low-level ingestion of multiple mycotoxins can lead to significant subclinical effects due to additive or synergistic toxicity.
Effective mycotoxin mitigation strategies include:
- Precise detection and monitoring of mycotoxins in feed or animal fluids,
- Use of nutritional and technological interventions that support detoxification, enhance liver and gut function, and bind or biotransform mycotoxins,
- And supportive management to help animals cope with environmental and biological stressors.
By integrating diagnostic tools and comprehensive nutritional solutions, producers can safeguard animal health, enhance resilience, and maintain optimal performance even under challenging farm conditions.
