Abstract

Mycotoxins and mycotoxicoses are an urgent problem for various areas of agriculture - livestock, pig, poultry, and fish farming. Mycotoxins (MTs) harm animal health, cause tremendous economic damage, and livestock production contaminated by them can pose a threat to human health. This problem is important from the point of view of ensuring the food and feed safety of the country.
