Mycotoxins
No region of the World (warmer or cooler, dry or humid) escapes to the harmful effect of mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus, Fusarium or Penicillia fungi; each with distinct negative effects in animal species producing several economic losses.
Among organ damages produced on the animal, mycotoxins takes control of the nutritional value changing the formula profiles thus inefficient results in the field.
Examples of mycotoxins and their negative effects besides immune suppression* are:
Aflatoxin |
liver & kidney damage, impaired production |
T-2 |
oral & skin lesions |
Zearalenone |
reproductive dysfunctions, infertility |
Ochartoxin |
kidney damage, reduce feed intake |
Deoxynivalenol (DON) |
feed refusal, vomiting |
* Reduction in: antibody titers, size of bursa and thymus, total serum proteins and serum concentration of antibiotics.
Mycotoxins in raw material are permanent once grain is contaminated. Only a few of the are partially removed by temperature (pasteurization or cooking) or storage controlling fermentation process once crop is under ideal conditions.
Other symptoms often found are reduced appetite and feed conversion and poor growth rate, poor skin/feather condition. At the cellular level severe damages in liver, kidney and reproductive organs are associated. Other indicators of micotoxicosis are swelling of the mammary glands, nervous system disorders and oral lesions specially in poultry.
Due to the current emphasis in mycotoxin control and reduction in animal feed Matura Tech, Inc. has developed a program for enhancing production and immunity for all species. The use of Myco-Met® mycotoxin binder with stimulatory response effect and Myco-Binder® hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate for permanent Aflatoxin and T-2 toxin control.
