Anti-mycotoxin feed additives: effects on metabolism, mycotoxin excretion, performance, and total tract digestibility of dairy cows fed artificially multi-mycotoxin-contaminated diets

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different anti-mycotoxin feed additives on the concentra- tion of mycotoxins in milk, urine, and blood plasma of dairy cows fed artificially multi-mycotoxin-contaminat- ed diets. Secondarily, performance, total-tract apparent digestibility of nutrients, and blood parameters were evaluated. Twelve multiparous cows (165 ± 45 d in milk, 557 ± 49 kg body weight, and 32.1 ± 4.57 kg/d milk yield at the start of the experiment) were blocked...
