In 2020, the most prevalent mycotoxins globally are the Fusarium mycotoxins DON (65%) and FUM (64%), followed by ZEN (48%).

• 96,684 analyses performed between January to December 2020
• 21,709 finished feed and raw commodity samples sourced from 79 countries

Therefore, the results underline the necessity of constant mycotoxin monitoring in feedstuffs and a proper mycotoxin risk management.

The annual DSM Mycotoxin Survey constitutes the longest running and most comprehensive survey of its kind and provides valuable data for mycotoxin risk management. 

The survey results indicate that mycotoxins are a serious concern in agricultural production. Multi-mycotoxin occurrences continue to be a global and regional threat, as they may result in additive or synergistic effects.
