Mycotoxin Matters

#21 Enhancing broiler productivity and environmental sustainability | Dr. Alexandra Weaver & Dr. Stephen Ross

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Stephen Ross and Dr. Alexandra Weaver to dicuss the new meta-analysis recently published in Poultry Science. This study investigates the effects of mycotoxins on broiler performance, livability, and environmental sustainability, as well as the positive effect of yeast cell wall extract supplementation during a mycotoxin challenge. 

#20 Managing Mycotoxin Risk in Lower Quality Ingredients | Dr. Max Hawkins

As we move into the crucial part of the growing and harvesting season, the effects of the challenging weather conditions, particularly in the northern hemisphere, raise questions around the mycotoxin risk of lower quality ingredients. We are joined by Dr. Max Hawkins to discuss this concept and what impact these weather conditions have on various grains globally in terms of the quality and variability.

#19 Alltech Feed Mill Workshop 2022: Sustainability, Feed Safety & More | Dr. Wilmer Pacheco & Josh Teulker

The Alltech Feed Mill Workshop is a unique educational experience designed to deliver expert knowledge in all aspects of feed milling. This year's workshop covered topics such as biosecurity, new technologies, sustainability and education. Learn more about the workshop, this year's key themes and the current issues impacting the feed milling industry with our guests Dr. Wilmer Pacheco and Josh Teulker. 

#18 Highlights from the Alltech ONE Conference and the World Mycotoxin Forum | Dr. Radka Borutova & Dr. Alexandros Yiannikouris

This month, we are delighted to be joined once again by Dr. Radka Borutova, and for the first time by Dr. Alexandros Yiannikouris. After two years of being hosted as online events, both the World Mycotoxin Forum and the Alltech ONE Conference returned to in-person formats in May, with attendees excited to travel and meet again outside of the virtual world. In this episode, we discuss the key themes and takeaways from these events. 

 

#17 A Quality Approach To Managing Mycotoxins in an Aquafeed Mill | Ben Lamberigts

The reliance on marine-based ingredients has been problematic for the aquaculture feed industry for many years. The industry still has some ways to go in producing a fish meal-free diet across all species, but R&D developments in this area have highlighted that fish do not require fishmeal to grow and perform optimally.

Find out more about Alltech Coppens approach to successfully managing the mycotoxin risk at an aqua feed mill. 

#16 Instability and the Green Deal | Nicolas Body & Ciarán Black

The instability from the conflict in Ukraine has dramatically shifted the thinking around the European Green Deal. We are joined by Nicolas Body and Ciarán Black to explore the possible implications of the conflict in Ukraine for the EU Green Deal and for European crop producers. 

#15 Mycotoxins: Uncovering the Mycotoxin Risk in Straw | Dr. Radka Borutova & Per Laustsen

Harvest 2021, across the key grain-growing regions of the Northern Hemisphere, suffered under turbulent weather conditions. Europe experienced a combination of drought in southern regions, while further north, heavy rains and flooding dominated. These rains continued throughout the harvest season, leading to challenges with grain and forage quality, and subsequent mycotoxin contamination. We are joined by Dr. Radka Borutova and Per Lausten to help us uncover the mycotoxin risk in straw. 

#14 Mycotoxins: The latest challenge to aquaculture success | Henry Wong

This month, we are taking a closer look at the mycotoxin risk in the aquaculture industry. We are delighted to be joined by Alltech's Henry Wong, Commercial Director for aqua business in Asia. 

#13 Mycotoxin Risk from 2021 Global Grain Production | Dr. Max Hawkins

Welcome to 2022! To kick off the year, we are once again joined by Dr. Max Hawkins to review some of the key results from Alltech's annual harvest analyses programs. 

#12 Reaping the Rewards from Data | Cesar Infante

Today, we are delighted to be joined by special guest, Cesar Infante, Vice President of Digital Business Development at Alltech. This episode explores how we can reap more of the huge rewards that data has to offer to the agricultural industry.
