Mycotoxins like DON, zearalenone, and fumonisin silently drain herd health and profits, but too often, testing only happens after the damage is done. In this episode of Ruminate This, Scott Zehr and Dr. Larry Roth discuss why routine, proactive mycotoxin testing of TMR and silage should be a standard practice on every dairy. They explor regional mycotoxin trends, the influence of agronomic practices, and the role of residue management. Learn why monthly TMR testing, especially in dry cow and ...

41: Optimizing Calf Health: Managing Mycotoxins in Pre-Weaned Diets
Mycotoxins in young stock diets can hinder growth and performance by triggering an immune response that diverts nutrients away from productive purposes. When calves face additional stressors like poor passive transfer, ventilation issues, or pathogen exposure, mycotoxins amplify these challenges, making it harder for them to thrive. Despite their impact, mycotoxins in starter feeds often go undetected. Implementing a routine mycotoxin sampling program can provide important information to help...
