How mycotoxin deactivators reduce problems at transition

Adisseo Season 3 Episode 5

Even low levels of mycotoxins in rations increase dairy cow problems at transition. Mycotoxin contamination is associated with an increase in the incidences of ketosis, retained placentas, displaced abomasums, mastitis, metritis, lameness, elevated somatic cell counts and decreases in milk production. These invisible, tasteless and odorless toxins accumulate from crop production through feed production. They are often implicated by the poor response of health conditions to veterinary therapy.

Adisseo solutions to the global challenge of mycotoxin contamination include the popular Unike® Plus and Toxy Nil® mycotoxin detoxifiers in conjunction with the MycoMan® [mycotoxin management] range of services. MycoMan enables growers and feed producers to monitor, predict, and test grain quality, so they can react to feed contamination in a timely fashion.
