zearalenone/erythema

One culture ofF avenaceum, 4 cultures ofF oxysporum, and 11 cultures of Fsambucinum were isolated from soil samples of pasture in New Zealand in 1987. All cultures, when grown on rice media and fed to rats caused a weight loss in rats as well as toxic signs including hemorrhaging and congestion,

Zearalenone is one of the most frequent, naturally occurring mycotoxins in feedstuffs: 13.9% of 710 samples analyzed contained zearalenone in concentrations of 1.0 to 1,725 micrograms/kg. Trial feeding with female pigs demonstrated that a zearalenone concentration of 250 micrograms/kg feed produced

METHODS A herd of Holstein, Jersey, or Holstein-Jersey cross lactating cattle of mixed ages presented with a sudden drop in milk yield in 94/678 cows on 3 October 2014 (Day 0). The herd was located in Gretna in the Derwent Valley (Tasmania, Australia) and had been grazing dryland pasture. RESULTS On

Three hundred sixty, 1-d-old male broiler chicks were fed diets containing grains naturally contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins for 56 d. The four diets included control (0.14 mg/kg deoxynivalenol, 18 mg/ kg fusaric acid, < 0.1 mg/kg zearalenone), low level of contaminated grains (4.7 mg/kg
