Specifications
Target Information
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is highly relevant to animal-derived food safety. It is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium fungi, which commonly contaminate grains such as wheat, corn, barley, and oats used for animal feed. When livestock, especially swine, consume this contaminated feed, they can suffer from reduced feed intake, weight loss, and in severe cases, vomiting, which is why it is commonly known as vomitoxin. While DON itself is not typically found in significant levels in meat or milk, its presence in the food chain is a key indicator of potential mycotoxin contamination, and it can affect animal health, indirectly impacting the quality and safety of animal products.
