How Mycotoxin Deactivation Improves Health and Performance

Adisseo Season 1 Episode 2

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.
