How to Protect A Facility ThroughMycotoxin Management Planning:A relatively small investment can end up saving a facility millions of dollars

摘要

Like many things in this industry, mycotoxins seem like an unavoidable force of nature. Much like a drought or flood, thier presence is out of an individual facility's control. So, when harvest is here, and trucks are lined up down the road, it is easy to forget about proper procedure, do a quick probe and send the truck on its way. What harm could come of it? — A lot. Not properly testing for mycotoxins can lead to infected grain entering the bin, creating hot spots and ultimately making the problem far worse. If high mycotoxin levels cause a shipment to be rejected, or even worse, affect the health of animals or humans, the damages could add up to millions of dollars.
