Pioneer Senior Nutritionist Discusses Mycotoxin Testing in Grain
What happened
Adam Krull joined Pioneer as a senior nutritionist. Krull stated that testing is critical to confirm the presence and type of mycotoxins in grain and silage, as visual symptoms alone cannot confirm toxin presence. He noted that toxins such as vomitoxin and zearalenone can cause feed refusal and poor weight gain in livestock.
