45: Mycotoxins on the Rise: Tips to Protect your Livestock
Mycotoxin problems are rising, but do you know where they’re really coming from and how to protect your herd? In Episode 45 of Ruminate This, Caroline Knoblock, Director of Nutrition at Agrarian Solutions, breaks down what dairy producers and nutritionists need to know about Fusarium molds, feed contamination, and practical ways to get ahead of mycotoxin challenges.
Caroline shares insights from a recent research trial on corn silage quality and vomitoxin (DON) levels, highlighting how fungicide applications at V5 and VT stages can impact both mycotoxin contamination and feed digestibility. She explains why many mycotoxin issues are out of your control, why early testing of freshly harvested feeds is critical, and how spreading spoiled feed can actually worsen contamination by inoculating soils.
You'll also hear how healthy soils and smart hybrid selection help plants naturally resist mold infection and why DTX remains the most researched, trusted tool for broad-spectrum mycotoxin protection without binding essential nutrients.
If you're looking for real-world tips to safeguard cow health and improve feed quality, this is a must-listen episode.
