MycoBite 6: Masked and emerging mycotoxins

Wrapping up the MycoBite series on mycotoxin analysis, Dr. Swamy Haladi is highlighting the role of masked and emerging mycotoxins and how these can interfere mycotoxin diagnosis. Masked mycotoxins are hard to detect due to them being in bound form. The risk of these bound mycotoxins is that they can be released in the intestine of animals, affecting their health and performance.

Furthermore, 'emerging mycotoxins' is probably not a correct term, since these toxins have always been present, but we are now discovering new methods to analyse them. Though not commercially analysed often, they might affect the toxicity of more common mycotoxins. At Selko, we keep a close eye on developments within mycotoxin analysis, that can help us identify risks more accurately and establish effective mitigation strategies.
