Webinar Mycotoxins

Climate change and extreme weather events are factors that influence mycotoxin prevalence around the globe for the last years. Mycotoxin contamination of grains causes economic losses and has negative consequences for the health of all livestock. Mycotoxin management, therefore, has the utmost priority for animal producers. In this webinar, broadcasted Thursday April 15, at 15:00 CET We will discuss the toxicology of mycotoxins in farm animals and the different strategies for mycotoxin prevention and elimination.
