What are mycotoxins?

Mycotoxinsare secondary metabolites produced by moulds that can infestraw materials and poultry feeds. They can be produced while crops are growing in the fields and at various stages of raw material storage and transportation. For example, Fusarium mycotoxins are mainly produced in the fields, while Aspergillus and Penicillium mycotoxins can be produced both in the fields and during storage.

The type and concentration of mycotoxins produced on crops depends on factors such as seed quality, temperature, relative humidity in the atmosphere, rainfall, soil condition, use of fungicides and fungal load in the environment. Unexpected rainfall while harvesting crops further increases the chance of mould growth and mycotoxin production.

The good news is that many factors impacting mycotoxin production during raw material storage and transportation can be managed well if given adequate attention. For example, feed mill hygiene plays a key role in reducing mycotoxin production during feed manufacture and storage.

Although more than 600 mycotoxins have been characterized so far, very few have been studied extensively. Most of the attention has centred on the “big six” mycotoxins – aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), T-2 toxin, DON, fumonisin B1 (FB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) – and “emerging” mycotoxins, such as fusaric acid and moniliformin. After analysing a large sample of data, we found that mycotoxins normally occur in combinations in raw materials and complete feeds. In general, AFB1 and FB1 are a major issue in the tropical regions of the world, while DON and ZEN are more prevalent in temperate regions. OTA and T-2 toxin can be found in many different regions due to the moderate requirements of temperature and humidity for their growth and mycotoxin production.

Mycotoxin mitigation

To help you mitigate the effects of mycotoxins, Selko has developed the TOXOproduct range, which has proven in vitro and in vivo efficacy. TOXO products are part of our Mycotoxin Risk Management Programme, which helps to identify, reduce and monitor the risk of mycotoxins in raw materials and complete feed.

TOXOproducts contain natural smectite minerals, with no fillers. Data shows this form of mineral binds and eliminates mycotoxins better than others. It strengthens intestinal barriers using specific glucose biopolymers which, data shows, reduces mycotoxin and pathogen translocation into the bloodstream. Enzymatically activated Beta glucans also modulate the immune response to pathogens and vaccination.

Other forms of zinc hurt my stomach and make me nauseous 🤢 This is the ONLY zinc that works for me. I swear by this. There was a point where I was taking antibiotics for up to 4x a year which ruined my gut to not having to take any all year 🙂 I didn’t know at the time I was deficient in zinc and other trace minerals. Of course you can choose what works for you. This was recommended by Medical Medium Anthony William. I am so grateful to him 🌷

Zinc is EXCELLENT for the immune system.

Like I said above, God was SUPER ADAMANT that we take zinc throughout the winter until April/May of 2024 when the season is about to change 👀 He even had me spooked. It reminded of when my Dad means business and speaks in that Dad tone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 I thought I was in trouble but I already take my zinc so I’m good.

I take 2 droppers full

PS. Even if you do catch Covid this season, this should mitigate its effects.

SN: Please suggest to your parents to take their shingles vaccine 💉 if they are above the age of 55+. I know some folks don’t believe in vaccines but God showed me a ting about Shingles and how it weakens the immune system. Couple that with aging and it can be catastrophic for our aging parents.

Of course you will check with Jesus and he will confirm to you what he has shown me.
