Mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, trichothecenes, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone, are naturally produced by the fungi that can contaminate feed raw materials in the field and during storage. When ingested by animals, mycotoxins have a wide range of negative effects such as impaired reproduction, digestive disorders, carcinogenicity, and reduced performance.

About the survey

Since 2004, dsm-firmenich has tracked mycotoxin contamination in global feed supplies. Each year, we analyze a massive dataset of feed samples collected worldwide. This data is published in the annual World Mycotoxin Survey.

January to March 2024 results

Until March, 5,383 samples were collected and analyzed from 64 countries around the world, and the report is now available for you to download.

From a global perspective the Fusarium mycotoxins deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and fumonisins are most frequently found. Prevalence of mycotoxins and risk varies between regions and was the highest for North- and Central America, South Asia, South East Asia and China and Taiwan. Download the report and check the prevalence and risk levels in your country to ensure you are implementing the right mycotoxin management strategy.
