To review the global prevalence of mycotoxins in feedstuffs, their toxicological impacts on poultry health, modern detection techniques, and emerging counteractive strategies.
Analyzed multi-year global surveillance datasets encompassing 25,944 grain and feed samples from 2004 to 2013, including approximately 3,000 samples tested in 2013.
Evaluated advanced diagnostic tools, specifically liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), for multi-analyte detection.
Reviewed counteracting interventions, comparing physical binding adsorbents against microbial and enzymatic biotransformation strategies.
Global surveillance revealed 81% of feed samples tested positive for at least one mycotoxin in 2013, exceeding the 10-year historical baseline of 76%.
Mycotoxin contamination triggered individual and additive pathological damage to the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and immune system, causing impaired productivity and increased mortality.
Physical binders exhibited limited efficacy across diverse chemical structures, whereas enzymatic and microbial biodetoxification successfully cleaved or converted mycotoxins into non-toxic metabolites.
