Mycotoxin management: The importance of a coordinated program for feed mills
A coordinated mycotoxin management program at a feed mill begins with a comprehensive quality assurance program that includes more than merely testing for mycotoxins during the receiving process. The quality assurance program must also have strategies to prevent their introduction into the manufacturing process and minimize mold growth that could produce mycotoxins during grain storage, feed processing and finished feed storage on the farm.

Based on HACCP principles (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points), the program is designed to identify the mycotoxin risks within a given farm or feed mill and create a plan to minimize the risks for the animal.
