Mycotoxins in petfood
As pets become integral parts of our families, their health and well-being are of utmost importance. Mycotoxins pose significant health risks to dogs, with both acute and chronic effects. They…
Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are fungal metabolites present in various cereals and feedstuffs. When ingested by the animals, they exert diverse toxic effects impacting animal health, well-being and production performance.
Good practices from the field to the feed mill can help reduce the mycotoxin contamination in feedstuffs and prevent undesirable effects. Specific ingredients, commonly called “toxin binders” can be added to animal feeds to reduce the exposure of the animals to mycotoxins.
More than 25% of harvested cereals are contaminated with various mycotoxins. The primary physiological effect of mycotoxins is the depression of the immune system caused by poly contamination, leading to lower performance.
All animal species are sensitive to mycotoxins, even at low levels. The key to combat mycotoxins in feed is using a wide spectrum adsorbent as the mycotoxin contamination profile changes constantly.
A good binder must also be efficient against mycotoxins like deoxynivalenol and fumonisins, which are difficult to bind because of their size and shape.
Olmix is one of the world leader on this market, thanks to a unique technology associating seaweed and clay, providing excellent binding capacities toward a large number of mycotoxins.
Additionally to providing in-feed solutions, Olmix accompanies its customers with various services to increase their understanding of mycotoxins, as well as the management of the risk for their production.
At the heart of Olmix’s mission are innovative tools designed to deepen our understanding of mycotoxins and facilitate their managements.
The Myco’Evaluator offers a thorough risk assessment, while the Myco’Calculator provides precise calculations for personalized management. Anticipate potential scenarios with the Myco’Simulator, available on Google Play and the App Store. Stay informed with MycoNews, your dedicated news source for mycotoxins. Streamline your approach to food safety and animal health with Olmix’s solutions.
Myco’Tools
The Myco’Evaluator allows to identify risk factors of mycotoxin contamination thanks to the audit of crop management, storage conditions and animals’ symptoms.
The Myco’Screen complete package is aimed to provide all the tools to help feed millers, nutritionists and farmers to optimize their mycotoxin analysis strategy for a better mycotoxin risk management.
The Myco’Calculator allow to calculate the optimum dosage of MT.X+/MMi.S with a precision of 100g/ton of feed.
The Myco’Simulator allows to display the 6 major mycotoxins in 3D, to compare them and to have access to their physiochemical characteristics and information on their toxicity towards animals.
