Fusarium toxins in cereals grown in Switzerland

Fusarium toxins in cereals grown in Switzerland

770 cereal samples of Swiss origin which were collected in various feed mills and cereal collection centres in the years 2000 - 2002 were assayed for Deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). 137 samples were also assayed for T-2 toxin. The prevalence of DON and ZEA contamination was higher in cer...

Zusammenfassung:770 cereal samples of Swiss origin which were collected in various feed mills and cereal collection centres in the years 2000 - 2002 were assayed for Deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). 137 samples were also assayed for T-2 toxin. The prevalence of DON and ZEA contamination was higher in cereals harvested in the rainy summer 2002 than in the previous years. T-2 toxin levels exceeding 100 µg/kg were found only in three oats samples. High levels ofFusarium toxins do not frequently occur in Swiss cereals.
