Mycotoxin Survey in North America: December 2023 Update

Our December 2023 update from the annual PROcheck mycotoxin survey is here.

2023 US Corn Ingredient Survey Reports

Each sample was tested for 6 major mycotoxin groups including,

  • A-Trichothecenes (A-Trich): T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, Neosolaniol, Diacetoxyscirpenol
  • B-Trichothecenes (B-Trich): Deoxynivalenol (DON/Vomitoxin), 3-Acetyl-deoxynivalenol, 15-Acetyl-deoxynivalenol, Nivalenol, Fusarenon X
  • Fumonisins (FUM): B1, B2, B3
  • Zearalenone (ZEN)
  • Aflatoxins (Afla): B1, B2, G1, and G2
  • Ochratoxin A (OTA)

The survey results represent samples sent in for surveillance testing only and does not include any sample submitted following clinical signs.

Below we discuss trends of each of these feed ingredients regarding mycotoxin occurrence. Additional details including mean contamination levels and risk by state or province can be found by downloading the full report.
