Cargill Animal Nutrition and Health (ANH) is dedicated to providing science-based solutions to reduce the risks associated with various mycotoxins in animal nutrition. Our research and testing have shown the effectiveness of our products in safeguarding the health and performance of animals, making us a reliable and professional partner in the field of animal nutrition and health.
Ergot alkaloids and emerging mycotoxins, such as enniatins, beauvericin, patulin, and tenuazonic acid, pose significant concerns in animal feed. These mycotoxins can have adverse effects on animal health and performance, especially when combined with other toxins, leading to issues such as reduced feed intake, impaired immune function, and oxidative stress. While the toxicity of these mycotoxins individually may be low to moderate, their combined effects can exacerbate harm.
At Cargill ANH, we have conducted extensive research into these emerging mycotoxins to better understand their risks and develop proven solutions for our customers. Our latest findings have provided valuable insights into the impact of ergot alkaloids and other emerging mycotoxins on animal health.
Ergot alkaloids, produced by Claviceps fungi, can have severe consequences on animal health, including reduced feed intake, lack of milk production, and abortion. Through our research, we have established realistic risk thresholds for different species and ages, enabling us to develop targeted solutions to mitigate these effects. Our MHS Notox™ range of products, such as Notox™ LS, has been proven to effectively bind over 90% of various ergot alkaloids at a moderate inclusion rate, providing a reliable solution for our customers.
In addition to ergot alkaloids, we have also examined other emerging mycotoxins, including sterigmatocystin, citrinin, fusarenon X, neosolaniol, and more. Our in-vitro tests have shown that Notox™ products have binding efficiencies ranging from 60% to 100%, with an average efficiency of over 80%. This demonstrates the broad spectrum of protection that our Notox™ solutions can offer, supporting animals exposed to a wide range of mycotoxins.
At Cargill ANH, we are committed to understanding and managing mycotoxins to ensure the health and performance of animals. By offering science-based solutions and collaborating closely with our customers, we aim to be a trusted partner in the industry.
