In 2020, the most prevalent mycotoxins globally are the Fusarium mycotoxins DON (65%) and FUM (64%), followed by ZEN (48%).

• 96,684 analyses performed between January to December 2020
• 21,709 finished feed and raw commodity samples sourced from 79 countries

Therefore, the results underline the necessity of constant mycotoxin monitoring in feedstuffs and a proper mycotoxin risk management.

The annual dsm-firmenich Mycotoxin Survey constitutes the longest running and most comprehensive survey of its kind and provides valuable data for mycotoxin risk management. 

The survey results indicate that mycotoxins are a serious concern in agricultural production. Multi-mycotoxin occurrences continue to be a global and regional threat, as they may result in additive or synergistic effects.
