Mycotoxins in feedstuffs represent an unavoidable risk due largely to environmental factors. As a result, analytical tools using a holistic approach are needed to understand multiple mycotoxin contamination patterns. Application of Alltech’s 37+ Program can be used as surveillance radar to monitor the overall level of mycotoxins present and estimate the level of risk associated with contamination. read more >
