Nervosity, loss of appetite, deterioration in feed efficiency, diarrhoea, vomiting, refusal to eat.
Poor assimilation of feed, decline in production and quality of milk, immune-system disorders.

Deoxynivalenol (DON)
Effects on:
Nervosity, loss of appetite, deterioration in feed efficiency, diarrhoea, vomiting, refusal to eat.
In the absence of acidosis, partial detoxification of DON into DOM-1 by protozoa followed by a fall in the protozoa population, poor assimilation of feed, decline in production and quality of milk, immune-system disorders.
