For a more in-depth discussion and overview of mycotoxins, the Grain Quality Initiative and the Crop Advisor Institute have prepared two video modules, Mycotoxins in Feed and Grain Industries.
Toxins I:
Mycotoxins Development can be viewed here. (Adobe Flash Player is required.)
Toxins II:
Best Practices in Handling and Testing can be viewed here. (Adobe Flash Player is required.)
Each program is about 30 minutes; one covers basic biology and development of mycotoxins and the second covers management and testing issues.
For an update on 2014 crop quality, see the Integrated Crop Management news posting, “Update on 2014 Crop Quality,” posted Oct. 15, 2014.
