Climate change is expected to have a severe impact on the development of mycotoxins in crops, with negative consequences for livestock health and performance. Farmers need new tools to overcome challenges in animal feeding.

Climate change poses a major threat to agriculture worldwide. Rising temperatures, extreme weather and abnormal changes in rainfall are bad news for crops and livestock. Under these conditions, toxin-causing fungi have excellent opportunities for growth. Along with them comes mycotoxins, which are considered one of the most dangerous pollutants in animal feed. If left untreated, mycotoxins can have severe consequences for reproduction and other aspects of livestock performance.
