Mycotoxin detection:

Validation results• Rasmussen RR et al Anal Bioanal Chem (2010) 397: 765• Rasmussen RR et al., Anal Bioanal Chem (2010) 397: 765

– 27 metabolites in maize silage: • 18 quantitatively• 9 qualitatively• 9 qualitatively

– Recoveries: 37 to 201% (majority: 60 to 115%) – Repeatabilities: 5 to 27%

Reproducibilities: 7 to 35%– Reproducibilities: 7 to 35%– LOD (1-739 μg/kg)

Cleaning between runs:

Injections of 5% formic acid, methanol and water.

ConclusionsConclusions

• High content of fungal metabolites in hot spots with visible fungal growth• High content of fungal metabolites in hot-spots with visible fungal growth

• High occurrence of Fusarium toxins in maize silage

• Fusarium toxins were below values recommended by the European y pCommission

• Gliotoxin, PR-toxin and patulin were not detected in field samples

• These studies do not indicate that mycotoxins in maize silage have • These studies do not indicate that mycotoxins in maize silage have caused the general health problems observed at Danish dairy cattle farms

• The possibility of synergistic effects and effects of long term exposure • The possibility of synergistic effects and effects of long-term exposure calls for more research
