Toxins can be found in all feedstuffs for horses, whether grain, hay, haylage, or grass. Depending on whether fungi have infected the plant before harvest or if the fungal growth occurs after harvest, a distinction is made between field fungi and storage fungi. Both the ingestion of fungi and the ingestion of their secondary metabolic products, known as mycotoxins, can be harmful to health. While fungi can often be combated by heat or other measures, mycotoxins are difficult to reduce and pose significant health risks, often lurking hidden in feedstuffs and bedding. Consequences include liver dysfunction, elevated liver enzymes, immunosuppression, skin and mucous membrane damage, fertility disorders, reduced performance, diarrhea, colic, kidney damage, and much more.
Aflatoxins, which have a liver-damaging effect, are frequently detected. These mycotoxins of the mold Aspergillus primarily occur in grain. Ochratoxin A, a mycotoxin formed in grain and forage, damages the kidneys and is carcinogenic.
The mycotoxin Satratoxin can cause significant poisoning symptoms that can be fatal. This mycotoxin occurs on grasses, hay, and straw and can lead to lesions of the mucous membranes and skin, diarrhea, and bone marrow damage. In general, an infestation with fungi and mycotoxins in feed always increases the risk of colic.
Among the frequently occurring mycotoxins is also Zearalenone, which can lead to fertility disorders due to its estrogen-like effect. Furthermore, Deoxynivalenol (DON), which in high concentrations leads to disruption of feed intake, immunosuppression, and liver disorders. Zearalenone and DON are highly toxic mycotoxins found in grain.
Unfortunately, mycotoxins are unavoidable in horse feeding and in small concentrations are unproblematic for horses. Careful harvesting, storage, and special treatment methods can keep fungal contamination and mycotoxin formation low.
For a healthy diet, it is essential to consider and avoid this hygienic problem as much as possible. Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly common in practice that not only forage and concentrated feed of good quality are available. For such a problem, a sensible feeding concept nowadays offers protection against dangerous toxins.
