Nearly three in four animal feed ingredient samples analyzed globally contained at least one mycotoxin, according to Cargill's sweeping 2025 surveillance report. The scale of contamination signals a persistent and industry-wide performance threat.

Feed mills are pivotal in mitigating mycotoxins, with tailored control plans essential for safeguarding animal feed. Understanding ingredient risks, implementing rigorous testing, and strategic storage are key steps in ensuring feed safety and optimizing animal health.

In a groundbreaking study, yeast cell wall extract (YCWE) supplementation has shown remarkable benefits for layer hens facing mycotoxin challenges.

Royal DSM has published the results of its latest annual mycotoxin survey. According to the report, which contains detailed information on the occurrence of fungal metabolite contaminants in feed crops and the potential risks to farm animals worldwide, the global average risk level was measured as 62%. On a regional basis, calculated risk levels ranged from a moderate 44% in whole of Europe to a high of 79% in Asia.
