  • Title: Occurrence of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A, zearalenone and deoxynivalenol in feed components.
    Author: Veldman A, Borggreve GJ, Mulders EJ, van de Lagemaat D.
    Journal: Food Addit Contam; 1992; 9(6):647-55. PubMed ID: 1302204.
    Abstract:
    The mycotoxin contamination of feed components used by the Dutch cooperative feed industry was surveyed to estimate the risk for animal production losses. Of 89 randomly and 6 selectively taken samples of raw materials harvested in 1988 and 1989 27% were contaminated with ochratoxin A (OCHRA), 31% with zearalenone (ZEA) and 20% with deoxynivalenol (DON). The mean content (microgram/kg) of all positive randomly taken samples was 18 (OCHRA), 62 (ZEA) and 630 (DON). The highest level (microgram/kg) for all samples was 120 (OCHRA) in barley, 3100 (ZEA) in corn cob mix and 1900 (DON) in maizegluten feed. The results of this survey show that feed components are often contaminated with mycotoxins. However, the contamination level could only sporadically cause production losses in animal husbandry.
