Surveys carried out by Alltech have confirmed the heavy presence of mycotoxins in silages across Northern Ireland (NI), Munster and south Leinster.
To date, forage samples across the rest of the country seem to be relatively free of the problem — for now, at least.
As a consequence, farmers may not know that they are offering their dairy and beef herds diets that can seriously impact both animal health and overall performance.

Alltech, in its latest mycotoxin threat analysis, compiled survey data for key feed ingredients on a regional level, and the results indicate the presence of moderate to high levels of mycotoxin risk.

Data regarding ochratoxin A (OTA) and zearalenone (ZEA) contamination in feed in South China are limited. Here, we evaluated OTA and ZEA contamination in 514 poultry feed samples collected from South China. We validated a modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method and the mycotoxins were quantified by high-pressure liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. OTA and ZEA were detected in 2.92% and 100% of the feed samples, respectively. Furthermore, 0%, 0.68%, and 7.0% of Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi feed samples were contaminated with OTA, at mean concentrations of 0.00, 1.14, and 0.88 μg/kg, respectively. All samples were contaminated with ZEA, and the mean concentrations were 2094.1, 14.3, and 8.73 μg/kg in the samples from Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi, respectively. The findings of this study indicate the strong need for intense monitoring of mycotoxin, especially ZEA, contamination in feed.
