2021 Harvest analysis programs
Late summer and autumn mean it is harvest season in Europe, the USA and Canada. Heavy rainfall across many parts of Europe and drought conditions in both the USA and Canada have raised concerns about this year’s crop quality and the potential for increased risk from mycotoxins. Our annual harvest analyses are designed to provide the feed industry and livestock producers with the most up to date information on mycotoxin risk across these regions and ensure the most effective decisions can be made when it comes to controlling potential mycotoxin challenges.
Sample collection and mycotoxin testing are now underway. Keep an eye on our communication channels for more information over the coming months, including how you can sign up to receive harvest reports and join dedicated regional webinars. If you would like to understand more about the quality of your harvested crops, please get in touch with your local Alltech representative, who will be happy to discuss the various mycotoxin testing options.
The latest mycotoxin research...
Our research teams continue to expand our understanding of mycotoxins, from their prevalence in feeds to the impact on various animal species, as well as different mitigation strategies. Read some of the latest publications below.
The presence of mycotoxins in Europe and impact on various fish species
Supported by Alltech Coppens, PhD student at Wageningen University Paraskevi Koletsi evaluated the presence of mycotoxins in raw materials and fish feeds in Europe, while also examining the potential effects that deoxynivalenol can have on the health and growth of farmed fish species.
A comparison of yeast cell wall extract (YCWE) and hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) in reducing the absorption of AFB1
Working with our research partners Alimetrics, Dr. Alexandros Yiannikouris et al. examine the pharmacokinetics of the absorption of radiolabeled AFB1 in rats in the presence of a YCWE based adsorbent compared with that in the presence of the clay-based binder (HSCAS).
Ellan Dufour is a Dairy Research Nutritionist with Hubbard Feeds. Through Hubbard’s collaboration with the University of Minnesota on calf research, Ellan has been assessing the impact of mycotoxins on calves up to 56 days of age, and highlighted that mycotoxins are not just an issue for dairy cows.
Mycotoxin occurrence in North America
Using data from Alltech 37+® , Dr. Alexandra Weaver et al. assessed the co – occurrence of 35 mycotoxins in samples of North American corn grain and corn silage. The paper notes how multiple mycotoxins frequently co-occur in corn grain and silage in the United States, and some of the more prevalent mycotoxins are those that may not be routinely analyzed.
Focus on marginal gains drives sustainable profitability | Cow Management
Learn how Bob Kendal and Stephen Ball from Alltech UK were able to work together with Norbreck Farm, Lancashire, to resolve an invisible mycotoxin issue that was impacting the herd’s reproductive rates.
All farms have experienced a traumatic weather event, and we know bad things can happen to good forage as a result! In this latest article from Progress Forage, John Winchell shares a few lessons, in case your farm turns into a frosty curve-ball.
Utilizing crop storage technology to reduce the mycotoxin threat
“There’s an app for that.”: A common phrase heard in everyday life. In the feed mill industry, we are often hesitant to incorporate new technology or let go of the manual control we have all grown to rely on at our mills. However, the last few years have brought new mycotoxin control technologies that are underutilized in our grain storage bins.
After graduating University with a Business Degree my career path was unclear. I knew what I did not want to do but was still unsure on what I wanted to use my education for to build a career. I had always been interested in farming and luckily for me, there was a large egg producer that had its headquarters located in the town where I was living. I started there in 2013 working at a layer farm for a couple years as a manager trainee, learning the ins and outs of the egg industry.
After a very short time in the feed quality position, I had the task of tackling a mycotoxin issue we were seeing at the mills, and this is where my knowledge of mycotoxins grew. Learning everything from how different mycotoxins effect the birds we were feeding, how they are produced, and how we could mitigate them at our mills. What I found most interesting about mycotoxins was the lack of knowledge most people in the feed industry had on something that could have huge impacts on the production performance of their animals. This led me down the path of learning and teaching everyone around me at the layer company. After a few more years as the Feed Quality Director, I found a position at Alltech that I could not pass up. I am now the Global Feed Mill Specialist for the Mycotoxin Management Team here at Alltech. What I truly enjoy most about my role is the diverse group of individuals I get to work with everyday from all around the world. Solving problems, specifically with Alltech RAPIREAD, has been something I have grown passionate about and helping customers and sales team members from all corners of the world is truly enjoyable.
When I’m not helping people install Alltech RAPIREAD, my true passion is the outdoors. Me, my wife, and our 2 year old son enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, gardening, and hunting. In our free time you can find us either on a hiking trail, sleeping in a tent, or enjoy the wildlife here in North America.
