Key components of a mycotoxin risk management programme

An effective mycotoxin risk management programme must integrate multiple touchpoints – from crops in the field through harvesting, raw material storage, feed mill hygiene, data analysis and the use of mycotoxin binders. As toxic chemicals produced from moulds, mycotoxins present a persistent and far-ranging threat. Mycotoxins can grow on crops in the field, or emerge during harvesting, transport of raw materials (RM) or in the storage of RM in silos, rooms, or bags. Mould and mycotoxin gro
