After nearly 15 years of engaging with farmers, nutritionists, veterinarians, and academia, when mycotoxins were the main focus, it is time to summarize the knowledge based on the realistic risks and inquiries from the field. Mycotoxins: From field to feed brings together experts from around the world to provide a comprehensive understanding of mycotoxins and their potential risks for animal exposure, i.e., animal health and growth performance, covering the effects of mycotoxins in swine, poultry, cattle, fish, horses, and pets. The book discusses ways to prevent mycotoxins contamination in the field, detect them in diets and biological samples, and minimize their negative effects through dietary intervention. And, no less important, the book delves into the impact of climate change on mycotoxin production.
Regiane R. Santos is Senior Researcher and Innovation Coordinator at Schothorst Feed Research (SFR). She is a veterinarian holding a PhD in Animal Reproduction at the Ceará State University in Brazil (2005), and a second PhD in Biology of Reproductive Cells at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (2007). Between 2008 and 2015, she conducted a post-doctoral research at Utrecht University, with an emphasis on the impact of mycotoxins on the reproductive and digestive systems of farm animals. Since 2015, she has been leading mycotoxin trials at SFR, using naturally contaminated feed ingredients. With more than 150 peer-reviewed published studies, she effectively bridges academics and practitioners.
