What are the Strategies for Mitigating Mycotoxin Contamination?
Mitigating mycotoxin contamination involves a multi-faceted approach. Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), such as crop rotation and the use of resistant crop varieties, can reduce the risk of fungal infection. Proper storage conditions and the use of mycotoxin binders in animal feed can also help. Additionally, advanced techniques like genetic engineering and biocontrol agents are being explored for their potential to reduce mycotoxin levels.
