The relationship between mycotoxins and pathogens in pigs

May 15, 2023

The relationship between mycotoxins and pathogens in pigs is complex and poses challenges for producers. Mycotoxins and bacterial pathogens can individually harm pig health, but their coexistence amplifies the risks. Mycotoxins weaken immunity and damage the intestinal lining, making pigs susceptible to bacterial invasion. Pathogens, in turn, worsen mycotoxin effects by causing inflammation and increasing toxin absorption. Comprehensive strategies are vital to address both challenges, including robust mycotoxin control, biosecurity protocols, and veterinary care. Alltech offers industry-leading solutions for managing mycotoxins, pathogens, or both, safeguarding pig health and the food supply.
