Deactivate Mycotoxins.

Mycotoxins are invisible contaminants in feed that can severely impact dairy herd performance. They reduce milk yield, impair reproductive efficiency, weaken immune systems, and lower overall feed conversion rates. These hidden toxins can silently erode your farm’s productivity and profitability.

Safeguard your dairy operation with our proven mycotoxin management solutions. Discover how to improve herd health, maximize milk production, and boost your bottom line—starting today.

Understanding mycotoxins

While aflatoxins are a well-known risk in dairy, there are hundreds of different mycotoxins that can negatively affect high-performing cows. Contaminants like vomitoxin and fumonisins can significantly impact the performance of high-producing dairy cows by disrupting rumen fermentation, reducing total-tract digestibility, and lowering milk production.

Know your risks

We understand the challenges dairy farmers face. Symptoms of mycotoxicoses in dairy cows are mainly nonspecific, making early detection crucial.

That’s why we’ve developed the Differential Diagnosis for Mycotoxicoses in Ruminants, an essential tool for veterinarians, nutritionists, farmers, and industry professionals to identify common herd health issues and corrective actions.
