Although the total number of mycotoxins is not known, researchers?has considered that thousands of potentially toxic fungal metabolites exist,?within mycotoxins of great preoccupation are: Aflatoxins, Tricotecenos?(Vomitoxina, Nivalenol, Neosolaniol, T2 Toxin, Diacetoxyscirpenol),?Zearalenona, Fumonisinas, Ocratoxin, Citrinin, Esterigmatocistina,?Ciclopiazónico Acid, Patulina, alkaloids of the Ergot, and Moniliformina.?These mycotoxins are in the most of products of the livestock industry, such?as corn, sorghum, soy, silages, cotton pulp and even milk.
