There's No Such Thing As Clean Corn

Variation in Mycotoxins Exists... and Causes Big Problems

There is no such thing as clean corn. Variation in mycotoxin levels in feed ingredients is a real problem. Spikes in mycotoxin levels can occur anywhere – in the same feed mill over time, in geographies where the risk is low or high, and even in the same load of corn. This lack of consistency creates unknowns when managing risks associated with feed. Riley Backs, Feed Research Supervisor at United Animal Health, and Katherine McCormick, M.S., a Research Associate at United, join us on this episode to talk about the variation they are seeing in the field.

There's No Such Thing As Clean Corn

There’s no such thing as clean corn! A new PathKinex study reveals that even visibly clean feed can harbor high levels of mycotoxin-producing fungi.  Join Heidi Doden, a microbiologist at Microbial Discovery Group, and Dr. Adrienne Woodward, Sr. Manager, Discovery and Novel Products at United Animal Health as they discuss the latest PathKinex study.
