Are you aware of mycotoxins risks to broilers?

Agro Napló
According to analysis of more than 8000 finished poultry feed samples collected in the past 5 years, 97% tested positive for mycotoxins. It's important for the industry to understand the real impact of mycotoxins on broiler productivity.

Poor performance

Mycotoxin contamination of feed below regulatory limits and guidance levels can have damaging effect on broiler health, welfare and performance.Negative impacts on performance include:

  • Up to 15% less body weight gain
  • 10% lower feed intake
  • A 7% higher feed conversion ratio

Four main effects on broilers

While visible signs of a mycotoxin-related issue are not always clearly identifiable in broilers under field conditions, mycotoxins can still have devastating effects on flock uniformity, performance and health. In particular, mycotoxins:

  • Predispose birds to diseases (e.g. necrotic enteritis, coccidiosis, etc.)
  • Decrease nutrient utilization and weight gain
  • Contribute to vaccine failure
  • Increase the rate of carcass condemnation
