Recent data indicates that corn (maize) silages may present a genuine mycotoxin risk to dairy cows. Given the uneven distribution of fungi and the mycotoxins they produce in a single lot, proper sampling is key to correctly assessing the specific on-farm mycotoxin threat. The variety of ingredients in a ruminant diet, including cereals, protein feed, forages, legumes, sorghum etc., exposes dairy cows to a wide range of contaminants at different dosages and at different times.
