Mycotoxin analysis kits on show

A nomination for an innovation award at next September’s Space agricultural show in Rennes, in Brittany, France, is the latest recognition for mycotoxin analysis kits produced by Alltech, the multinational food and animal health company which has its European headquarters in Ireland.

There is rising awareness of mycotoxin contamination of feed grains, reported in the Netherlands and Germany this year in feed originating from Serbia.

Prolonged exposure to high humidity or damage due to drought often results in aflatoxin contamination of grain before harvest or during storage.
