Which fungi were you able to isolate from the necrotic sites of the swine? What mycotoxins did they produce? At what levels ? Please send an abstract to the forthcoming conference of the Nigeria Mycotoxin Awareness and Study Network NMASN holding april 28-30, 2008, in Lagos.

In our trial, sows were fed with Fusarium mycotoxins (2600 ìg deoxynivalenol and 180 ìg zearalenone per kg complete feed). Symptoms like necrosis (skin, tail, ear) or splaylegs in piglets were increased in the group of sows fed highly mycotoxin-contaminated diets in comparison with the control group.

Regards.
