Mycotoxin survey in dry pet food - Brazil 2016
Mycotoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolic products of moulds. They are generally produced by Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium species and found on common feedstuffs such as grains. The discussion about the potential risk of mycotoxins in companion animals has increased due to increased recalls of different pet food products in recent years. Mycotoxins certainly present a potential health threat to companion animals. Dry pet food is of particular concern because of its high cereal content.
