Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by specific
filamentous fungi that infest agricultural commodities. They are
known to contaminant crops and consequently animal feeds and animal
products, causing significant economic losses associated with their
impact on animal health and productivity in agribusiness. In animal
production, dramatic acute mycotoxin poisoning with severe or fatal
disease is of relatively low prevalence. However, uncertainty and
controversy continue to plague livestock producers and health
professionals based on real or potential damage to feed efficiency,
immune system function, inefficient animal reproduction and
possible residues in the human food supply. This book describes
conditions that favour mycotoxin formation and consumption,
suggesting preventive approaches.
