41: Optimizing Calf Health: Managing Mycotoxins in Pre-Weaned Diets
Mycotoxins in young stock diets can hinder growth and performance by triggering an immune response that diverts nutrients away from productive purposes. When calves face additional stressors like poor passive transfer, ventilation issues, or pathogen exposure, mycotoxins amplify these challenges, making it harder for them to thrive.
Despite their impact, mycotoxins in starter feeds often go undetected. Implementing a routine mycotoxin sampling program can provide important information to help refine nutrition strategies and optimize calf development.
In this episode, Dr. Larry Roth, Vice President of Nutrition, discusses how mycotoxins affect calf health and the best ways to manage their impact.
