Mycotoxins can cause a number of performance losses, including reduced growth rate and egg production.

Mycotoxins form in feed, decrease productivity, and may cause clinical disease. Prevention involves using feed and ingredients free of mold growth and mycotoxins.

Effective mycotoxin management requires a combination of preventive measures, regular monitoring, and the use of feed additives. Implementing an integrated strategy helps ensure poultry health, maintain productivity, and reduce economic losses.

Some mycotoxins, such as 15-monoacetoxyscirpenol, can cause severe feather alterations

extreme cases, mycotoxins can cause mortality in poultry.

Mycotoxins can affect the animals either individually or additively in the presence of more than 1 mycotoxin, and may affect various organs such as gastrointestinal tract, liver, and immune system, essentially resulting in reduced productivity of the birds and mortality in extreme cases.

Different mycotoxins will have different effects on the physiology and behavior of birds. In general terms, a reduction in feed intake is likely to occur when mycotoxins are present. If mycotoxins are detected in grains, it is very important to know what type of mycotoxin(s) is(are) present and what are their levels. Birds have different tolerance levels to different mycotoxins. The two most used practices to deal with mycotoxins are the use of mycotoxin binders and grain dilution. This latest practice involves blending mycotoxin contaminated grain with clean grain, so the mycotoxin levels consumed by birds are below their threshold thus minimizing the negative effect of mycotoxins on poultry productivity.
