Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi present in feed.
Mycotoxin's production depends on fungus specie and strand, plant specie, environmental moisture and temperature, presence of pests, etc.
Mycotoxins cause damages in feed quality. Their incidence depends on geographical area and
season. Mycotoxins are toxic: they produce mycotoxicosis and
drop of performance. Their presence in feed can be reduced by applying
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points.

Mycotoxin toxicity
Main factors that influence toxicity of mycotoxins are:
Bioavailability. Combined effects between several mycotoxins. Amount of mycotoxins consumed. Continuous
or intermittent ingestion of the contaminated feed.
Animal weight, age, physiological and health status.
![Page 4: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mycotoxicosis
Mycotoxicosis (1962, Forgacs and Carl): host's intoxication as a result of ingestion of a toxic substance of fungal origin.Some cases show evident symptoms that can be easily associated to mycotoxicosis.
In the other hand, subclinical mycotoxicosis is only recognizable by drop of performance and health status.
Susceptibility to mycotoxicosis depends on animal specie, age, sex and coexistence with other illness.
![Page 5: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mycotoxicosis can cause:
NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS
Feed consume decrease.
Nutrient absorption decrease.
HEALTH ASPECTS Mycotoxicosis typical
of every mycotoxin.
Immunosupression: arise of other pathologies.
![Page 6: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MYCOTOXINS CLASSIFICATION AND MODE OF ACTION Lots of described
mycotoxins.
Varied molecular weights and structures: difficult to classify.
They keep associated to
fungus or substrate.
Many of them are stable to chemical/physical treatments.
Mycotoxins persist in food chain.
![Page 7: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Classification according to pathology

Classification according to chemical structure
![Page 9: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Chemical structure
Chemical structure determines: Mycotoxin's mode of action. Mycotoxin's method of detoxification
![Page 10: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Chemical structure and mode of action Mode of action: specific biochemical interaction through
which a substance produces its biological effect.
In order to achieve a biological effect, an interaction with a receptor is essential.
![Page 11: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chemical structure and mode of action
Chemical groups of the receptor must interact with chemical groups of the substance, that is, chemical structures in the binding point must be complementary.
![Page 12: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
KEY-LOCK MODEL
Mycotoxins with shared chemical structure may interact with the same receptors an thus have an alike biological effect.
![Page 13: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chemical structure and mode of action
Into practice T2 toxin, HT2 toxin, deoxynivalenol, nivalenol have a sesquiterpene group in their structure and they all have necrotic effects on mucous membranes.
![Page 14: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chemical structure and mode of action
B1, B2, G1, G2 aflatoxins, sterigmatocistin have cumarinic group in their structure and they all have haemorrhagic effects alike anticoagulant active principles used in human pharmacology: warfarine, acenocumarol. These active principles also show a cumarinic structure.

Usual methods of analysis
Thin layer Chromatography (TLC). Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Gas Chromatography-Mass
spectrometry (GC-MS). Immunoassay(ELISA).
![Page 18: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Maximum allowed concentration
Gradually more countries legislate about mycotoxin limits in fodder and raw materials destined to animal nutrition.
Maximum concentrations are set depending on: Mycotoxin's toxicity Animal specie sensitivity and age Fungi load characteristic of plant specie Availability and limits of analysis method. Maximum concentration for each mycotoxin depends on
every country.
![Page 19: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Maximum allowed concentration Maximum concentration depends on
animal specie and age and on raw material or fodder.
![Page 20: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Interpretation of results
Considering the results obtained in the lab, decisions are made taking into account:
Concentration of each mycotoxin (individual effect). Concentration of all mycotoxins analysed as a whole
(combined effects). Possible bias of analysis. Presence of non-analysed mycotoxins.
![Page 21: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
COMBINED EFFECTS
![Page 22: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
There are more possibilities of finding combined effects in mycotoxins...
With similar molecular structure. Synthesized by the same fungal strand or specie. Synthesized by the same fungal family.
![Page 23: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The appearance of combined effects depends on:
Concentration of each mycotoxin. Animal sensitivity (specie, age, health
status).
![Page 24: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Synergic effect
Combined effect of A and B mycotoxins is higher than the addition of the effect of each mycotoxin.
![Page 30: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Antagonistic effects
Combined effect of A and B mycotoxins is less than the addition of the effect of each mycotoxin. (but higher than the effect of each mycotoxin separately).
![Page 33: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Antagonistic effects
Citrinin + ochratoxin APoultry: the presence of these mycotoxins together reduces the toxic effects of the mycotoxins separately (growth and water consumption decrease).
Aflatoxins + diacetoxyscirpenol Poultry: the presence of these myocotoxins together reduces the toxic effects of the mycotoxins separately (growth and feed consumption decrease).

BIAS OF THE ANALYTICAL METHOD
1. Not representative samplingSample not representative, because of the big sample size or the king of storage/container of the raw material.
2. Not validated analysis methodAnalysis method should have been validated by a prestigious institution like International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
3. Low quality standards Trouble to get mycotoxin standards in some countries. % recovery of solid standards by dissolution <100%.Standard solution not stable.
4. Procedure for sample extraction
![Page 35: General Review of Mycotoxins](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546473f2b4af9fda3f8b45b2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
PRESENCE OF NON-ANALYSED MYCOTOXINS
Not-analysed mycotoxins
In raw materials there could be mycotoxins whose are not analysed:
1. WELL-KNOWN MYCOTOXINS Whose analysis is not performed because of economic reasons, lack of validated methods, presence unlikely, etc.
2. LITTLE-KNOWN MYCOTOXINS Mycotoxins whose incidence and effects are little known.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 300 DESCRIBED MYCOTOXINS
