Clinical cases of fusarium-toxicoses in Austrian domestic animals in connection with fusariumtoxinrcontaminated feedstuffs

Abstract

A surveillance study of the most important fusarium-toxins in Austrian feed samples, the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (F-2 toxin) as well as the refusal of feed causing deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin), of the last 8 years is given. The author describes predominantly the biologic effects in swine, cattle and poultry from the practical point of view and the correlation between clinical symptoms of the incriminated animals and the mycotoxin-levels found in the suspicious feed samples. Some field cases, the clinical symptoms and the fusariumtoxin-concentrations found are presented in one table.
