“…Mycotoxins can induce a range of detrimental ailments in livestock including abortions, vomiting, lameness, immunosuppression, reduced feed intake and feed refusal (Binder et al, 2007). Some mycotoxins (ochratoxin and aflatoxin B 1 ) detected in silage can also can be transferred through the food chain into meat and milk, respectively [European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), 2004 b;2006).…”

“…Also, mycotoxins are often not homogenously dispersed in the feed. This makes sampling difficult and mycotoxins may stay analytically undetected, even with perfect sampling procedures (Binder, 2007). Clinical symptoms are in many cases not very pronounced.…”

“…As well as hygiene, prevention and analytical systems, also other tools may be helpful in the control of mycotoxicosis. They include (1) toxin binders (different natures; Ramos et al, 1996), (2) acidifiers (different combinations of acids for use in feedstuffs and or complete feed; Binder, 2007) and (3) dis-activators of the different mycotoxins present in feed and or feedstuffs (Danicke et al, 2004;Volke et al, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT:Mycotoxins are commonly present in feed for farm animals. Sows and gilts are highly susceptible to mycotoxins. This article presents a review describing the main mycotoxins encountered in pig feed which have a negative impact on sow fertility and reproduction. Consumption of feed that is contaminated with these mycotoxins may cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the type of mycotoxin, quantity and duration of exposure, as well as the health status and condition of the animal at the time of exposure. Two types of fungi are recognized, field fungi and storage fungi. Field fungi such as Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp. and Claviceps spp. may produce toxins that lead to disturbed reproductive performance. Storage fungi occur if the humidity during storage is too high. In daily practice, the symptoms related to mycotoxicosis can occur at toxin concentrations below the detection limit. Knowledge of the effects of mycotoxins is expanding rapidly. Mycotoxins may still be present in feedstuffs despite negative analytical findings and because of the presence of hot spots in feed and or feedstuffs. Clinical symptoms can be very pronounced, making the diagnosis for the practitioner quite easy but in many cases the symptoms are vague and not at all present at herd level on a regular basis. The practitioner is in the first line of raising awareness in all parties whenever the first indication exists of a possible mycotoxicosis problem causing reproductive failure in breeding pigs. The problems can be resolved only if all parties involved in pig herd health take the necessary preventive measures and actions. The main toxins causing reproductive failure discussed in this article are aflatoxins, ergot alkaloids, trichothecenes and zearalenone.

“…Considerando tamanha complexidade e diversidade das matrizes alimentares e biológicas é preciso realizar uma sequência de três operações fundamentais visando a confiabilidade dos resultados obtidos, as quais incluem: 1) Realização das colheitas das amostras de forma adequada; 2) Preparação eficaz das amostras antes da realização da análise propriamente dita e 3) Aplicação do método analítico correto visando a detecção e/ou quantificação destas substâncias (Betina, 1993, Binder, 2007, Valle-Algarra et al, 2014.…”

RESUMO.Micotoxinas são substâncias tóxicas produzidas pelo metabolismo secundário de fungos filamentosos e capazes de desencadear uma série de problemas relacionados à produção agropecuária e à saúde pública. O monitoramento destes agentes tóxicos é necessário, devendo-se levar em consideração para realização de tal atividade a diversidade das amostras que são colhidas, os tipos distintos de micotoxinas, bem como a distribuição não uniforme destes contaminantes. A escolha adequada dos pontos de amostragem, bem como do uso de uma metodologia eficaz que considere os possíveis interferentes e contemple os níveis de detecção esperados também são fatores indispensáveis para o sucesso e confiabilidade das análises realizadas. Com o intuito de atender às exigências da legislação brasileira para micotoxinas, vários alimentos deverão ser analisados, para isso, o conhecimento de procedimentos para colheita de amostras e análises laboratoriais são importantes para pequenos produtores e para indústria de alimentos. Considerando que a aplicação adequada destas metodologias não apenas pode aumentar a produção agrícola e sua consequente lucratividade, como também propiciar a segurança alimentar dos diversos produtos brasileiros destinados às dietas humanas e/ou animais, esta revisão visa descrever as principais metodologias existentes no Brasil para colheita de amostras e análise de micotoxinas, assim como abordar os principais métodos analíticos existentes para detecção e quantificação destes contaminantes. Palavras chave: Alimentos, amostragem, análises laboratoriais, metodologias analíticasProcedures for sampling and laboratory tests of mycotoxins existing in human and animals feed ABSTRACT. Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by the secondary metabolism of filamentous fungi and able to trigger series of problems related to agricultural production and public health. Thereby, monitoring of toxic agents is absolutely necessary and must be taken into account for the performance of such activity the diversity of samples to be collected, the different types of mycotoxins as well as the non-uniform distribution of these contaminants. Proper selection of sampling process as well as the use of a effective methodology will eliminate the trace of interference in order to have a successful analyses. Thus, in order to meet the requirements of the current Brazilian legislation for mycotoxins, various foods should be analyzed for this, knowledge of procedures for sampling and laboratory analyzes are of fundamental importance to both small producers and for the food
