Preventing mycotoxin contamination requires a multi-faceted approach:
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP): Includes crop rotation, timely harvesting, and minimizing mechanical damage to crops. Proper Storage: Keeping humidity and temperature controlled to inhibit fungal growth. Processing Techniques: Such as sorting, milling, and heat treatment to reduce mycotoxin levels. Feed Additives: Adding binders and other additives to animal feed to reduce bioavailability of mycotoxins.
