How Mycotoxin Deactivation Improves Health and Performance
Show Notes

Mycotoxins reduce rumen performance, according to UNH research.  Mycotoxin deactivators increase the production of beneficial metabolites and, thus, increase cow health and performance. 

The effects of the mycotoxin deactivator UNIKE® Plus was investigated on rumen parameters in cows fed mycotoxin-contaminated dried distillers grains. While mycotoxin impaired rumen volatile fatty acid production and the microbial population, these parameters were restored by the mycotoxin deactivator, resulting in a healthier rumen.
