Alltech mycotoxin test now tests for over 40 different mycotoxins

The Alltech 37+® mycotoxin analysis test is the cornerstone of the Alltech^® Mycotoxin Management programme, as it tests for more than 37 types of mycotoxins. Now the test includes five additional mycotoxins.

With this new analytical capability, Alltech is able to not only detect these new mycotoxins, but can also begin to understand how they can impact animal performance and health.

When samples are submitted for testing, farmers will now see the additional five mycotoxins that have recently gained attention in scientific research for becoming important to the agriculture industry. These additional mycotoxins and toxicity symptoms are: Citrinin (kidney damage, oxidative stress, gut health challenges, diarrhoea/loose manure); Beauvericin (oxidative stress, antimicrobial activity, contamination of milk/meat); Moniliformin (heart damage, immune suppression, loss of performance); Citreoviridin (Vitamin B1 deficiency, immune suppression, oxidative stress, poor reproductive performance, reduced weight gain); Cyclopiazonic acid (GIT damage, oxidative stress, immune suppression, loss of performance).
