Vomitoxicosis

Vomitoxin is a mycotoxin that causes reduced feed intake, resulting in slow growth.

Alternative names: Micotoxins, vomitoxin, DON, Deoxynivalenol, Fusarium

Vomitoxin causes vomiting and reduced feed intake. Because the animal reduces its intake, intoxication in pigs is limited, but it causes reduced production.

Sows, nursery and fattening

• Vomiting.
• Go off feed.
• Slow growth.

• Crops affected by high humidity levels.

• It is very difficult to make a diagnosis because sometimes there is a low concentration of DON and several other mycotoxins present in the feed.

• Removal of suspected feed.
• Use absorptive products in feed.
