In swine feed commodities worldwide, DON occurred in 79 percent of finished feed samples, 77 percent of corn samples and 92 percent of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) samples analyzed.HomeLC-MS/MS testing technology key to future mycotoxin analysisBiomin's Mycotoxin Survey using advanced LC-MS/MS mycotoxin testing methods reveals average co-occurrence of 30 mycotoxins per feed materials sample.HomeHow deoxynivalenol impairs pig gut functionalityThere are several strains of Fusarium capable of producing the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) or vomitoxin, a type-B trichothecene. It should be noted that the common active group of all trichothecenes is the epoxide, which are responsible for the binding of DON to ribosomes inhibit protein synthesis.Page 1 of 1
