If certain levels of mycotoxins (e.g. aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisin, ochratoxin, zearalenone, T-2 toxin) are present in animal feed, they can adversely affect the health of humans and animals.
SGS regularly performs mycotoxin testing to ensure feed safety and compliance with the strict regulations in place.
Mycotoxins range in their toxicity by type and end user. Our mycotoxin tests use either an enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) or liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrophotometry (LC MSMS). These methods of mycotoxin analysis deliver appropriate levels of detection and quantification, ensuring that your feed matches the regulatory requirements for the levels of mycotoxins present.
