Q

When can mold grow?

A

During:
plant growth
processing feeds
storage

19
Q

What are feeds that are affected?

A

Corn
Peanuts
cottonseed products

20
Q

What can the presence of dangerous mycotoxins cause?

A

Death
Chronic disease
reduced performance
liver damage or cancer

21
Q

What conditions favor mold growth?

A

Moisture
oxygen
nutrients

22
Q

How does mold occur?

A

-Spores - many fungi exist through the winter as spores, so that mold may not be actively growing, but when the conditions are right, it can develop. The spores may be present in soil or plant debris.
-Dispersion by air, wind, rain, birds, or insects
-Crop damage – particularly when the integrity of the outer coating of grain is compromised
-Insect damage
-Plant weakened by drought
-Bird damage

23
Q

Can human added preservative prevent mold growth?

A

Yes

24
Q

Where does aflatoxins attack in the body?

A

Aflatoxins attack the liver

25
Q

Is Aflatoxin lethal?

A

No, but it can cause liver cancer

26
Q

Who is more susceptible to aflatoxin dosages: young animals or mature animals?

A

Young animals

27
Q

Where can Aflatoxin be found?

A

peanuts, corn, or milk

28
Q

What is the max level of presence of aflatoxin in feed for dairy cows?

A

20 ppb (Parts per billion)

29
Q

What are the aflatoxin levels in other food animals and beef cattle?

A

other animals: 100 ppb
beef cattle: 200ppb

30
Q

What is needed if your feed has greater than 200ppb aflatoxin?

A

Dilute with clean grain

31
Q

How much does feed cost of production?

A

2/3 cost of production

32
Q

What are the purpose of the regulations?

A

safegaurd health and people and animals

sources of credit, interest rates, etc.
what to avoid in a feed
government regulations for feeding

35
Q

What is medicated feed?

A

Must be labeled as medicated
if withdrawal period it must be stated on the tag

Palatability, you learn from experience

39
Q

A

*Storage-ability: be sure it has an adequate shelf life (how long it can be stored before it goes bad, a common pet food issue) - expiration dates are required but sometimes people buy too much without aprpeciating the room they have on the speed of usage
