A three-year survey on the worldwide occurrence of mycotoxins in feedstuffs and feed

Toxins (Basel). 2012 Sep;4(9):663-75. doi: 10.3390/toxins4090663. Epub 2012 Sep 12.

Abstract

Between January 2009 and December 2011, a total of 7049 corn, soybean/soybean meal, wheat, dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and finished feed samples were analyzed for the occurrence of aflatoxins (Afla), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins (FUM) and ochratoxin A (OTA). Samples were sourced in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Afla, ZEN, DON, FUM and OTA were present respectively in 33%, 45%, 59% 64% and 28% of analyzed samples between 2009 and 2011. From the 23,781 mycotoxin analyzes performed, 81% were positive for at least one mycotoxin. Results of this survey are provided by calendar year, in order to potentially show different trends on mycotoxin occurrence in distinct years: by commodity type and within the same commodity, and by region, to potentially reveal differences in mycotoxin contamination in commodities sourced in diverse regions.

Keywords: aflatoxins; deoxynivalenol; fumonisins; mycotoxins; occurrence; ochratoxin A; survey; zearalenone.
