Once again BIOMIN shows its concern regarding the mycotoxin problem and provides you with your personal Mycotoxin Risk Management tool. The following figures, charts and tables refer to the worldwide mycotoxin contamination of agricultural commodities for the period between April and June 2010. In this 3-month period, a total of 2599 analyses were carried out for the most important mycotoxins in terms of agriculture and animal production – aflatoxins (Afla), zearalenone (ZON), deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins (FUM) and ochratoxin A (OTA).
Due to the various origins of the different samples, the analysis and data were allocated to different regions: America (North, Central and South), Asia (South-East, South and North), Oceania, Europe (Northern and Southern) and Middle East.
Samples tested were diverse, ranging from cereals such as corn, wheat, barley and rice to processing by-products, namely soybean meal, corn gluten meal, dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and other fodder such as straw, silage and finished feed. If you think this is an interesting report, make sure you do not miss our next quarterly reports and our annual report to be released at the beginning of next year.
