The diet of a dairy cow is complex, being composed of various raw materials – what is the mycotoxin risk of these diets, and which raw materials carry the highest risk? What impact do these mycotoxins have on dairy cows’ health and performance? Furthermore, how can we detect mycotoxins and protect dairy cows?
During this webinar we discuss:
- What are mycotoxins, where do they come from and why they are formed?
- Negative impact of mycotoxins in dairy cows
- Aflatoxins in dairy products – a human health risk
- Managing your mycotoxin risk – from detection to mitigation
- How to choose the correct mycotoxin binder
