Join Dr. Max Hawkins, nutritionist, Alltech Mycotoxin Management Team, as he presents the latest information on the rising mycotoxin levels found in North America stored corn silage and TMR samples and the increased risk it presents to dairy and beef cattle.

The webinar is scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2015 at 12pm EST. Reserve a spot for the educational experience today.

A survey of 59 North American corn silage samples from across the United States and Canada from September to November 2014 tested for mycotoxin contamination through Alltech’s 37+® mycotoxin analysis found an average 6.1 mycotoxins per sample. Based at the Analytical Services Laboratory of Alltech in Winchester, Kentucky, and utilizing LC/MS/MS technology, Alltech’s state of the art 37+ analytical method is the most advanced mycotoxin analysis available.

The 37+ survey sets the baseline for forage quality when producers start feeding the 2014 crop. The crop condition at harvest and the storage environment (temperature, oxygen, moisture) determine if these levels will rise during storage and increase the risk to cows.
