MYCOX REM
Nutritional solution to fight against mycotoxin contamination
MYCOX REM – NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION TO FIGHT AGAINST MYCOTOXIN CONTAMINATION
In recent years, we have understood that it’s very important to carry out a constant and accurate all components that feed our animals monitoring action because they can bring undesirable substances.
Due to the spring-summer meteorological trend, we are facing a mycotoxin emergency which mainly concerns the toxins generated by Fusarium widespread attacks. Although FUSARIUM is a ubiquitous mushroom, it multiplies quickly in the high humidity and cool temperatures presence.
MYCOTOXIN EMERGENCY MUST WORRY FARMERS
Mycotoxicoses represent a very serious health and economic problem in cattle beef and dairy farming.
Mycotoxins alter ruminal function, causing malabsorption in the intestine, which results in a lower essential nutrients availability for immune activity and to support adequate production performance.
The mycotoxins’ presence also promotes the reactive oxygen species’ production both locally and systemically, with consequent antioxidant reserves’ cytotoxic effects and depletion.
The symptoms manifested by the animal, or much more frequently by the herd, are also decidedly complex as they are very different in severity’s terms and very varied as regards the clinical manifestations. Different mycotoxins are often produced simultaneously by several fungal strains, giving synergies’ origin that are not yet fully defined and codified.
The negative effects caused by mycotoxicosis on dairy and beef farm are as follows:
REDUCED MILK PRODUCTION
IMPAIRED RUMEN FUNCTION
REDUCED POOR GROWTH AND BODY WEIGHT
REDUCED FERTILITY, ABORTIONS
IMMUNE SUPPRESSION
COMPROMISED BREAST HEALTH
INCREASED SOMATIC CELL COUNT
GRANDA TEAM’s MYCOX REM program:
BIND – NEUTRALIZE – TRANSFORM
mycotoxin molecules
In particular:
Mineral clay particles – BIND “POLAR” MYCOTOXINS
Yeast wall’s components – BIND TOXINS AND PATHOGENIC BACTERIA
Microbial nutrient’s pack – HELPS TISSUES AND THE BENEFICIAL MICROFLORA PROLIFERATION
Biologically active components – THEY ACT ON MYCOTOXINS, MAKING THEM INACTIVE AND UNAVAILABLE
goals:
If there is mycotoxins’ presence in the naimal’s feed, treatment with MYCOX REM can bring about:
Increased feed intake
Increased milk production
Better growing times
Increased fertility
Lower litters and herd mortality
Better health state
CASE 1: DAIRY COWS
-610 cows in lactation
– Average milk production: 28.6 litres
– Divided into 2 groups of 75 cows for each group, the fresh multiparous (equivalent in production, performance and lactation days terms):
1. CONTROL group treated with a generic mycotoxin inactivator (Clinoptilolite) at a quantity of 150 g/cow/day;
2. TEST group treated with a technological mycotoxin inactivator (MYCOX REM by Granda Team) at a quantity of 15 g/cow/day.
COMPANY SCENARIO
Ascertained mycotoxins’ precence in the unifeed on the opening’s occasion of the new corn silage trench:
Problems encountered on animals:
– Sharp decline in reproductive and productive performance
– Strong increase in heat returns
– Strong increase in the calving-conception interval
– Percentage reduction of pregnant cows
– Increase in abortions
PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE
The GREY COLUMN indicates the month of the mycotoxin problem’s onset, the RED boxes indicate the results obtained by the CONTROL GROUP, the GREEN boxes indicate the results obtained by the TEST GROUP WITH MICOX REM.
The TEST group’s animals show an improvement in the average milk production up to the productions’ achievement prior to the problem’s beginning after one month of MYCOX REM’s administration, the somatic cells return to normal after 3 months of administration.
HEALTH PROBLEMS
The GREY COLUMN indicates the month of the mycotoxin problem’s onset, the RED boxes indicate the results obtained by the CONTROL GROUP, the GREEN boxes indicate the results obtained by the TEST GROUP WITH MICOX REM.
Within 3 months from the beginning of MYCOX REM’s administration, the health problems and the somatic cells’ count in the milk also returned to normal.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE
The GREY COLUMN indicates the month of the mycotoxin problem’s onset, the RED boxes indicate the results obtained by the CONTROL GROUP, the GREEN boxes indicate the results obtained by the TEST GROUP WITH MICOX REM.
Within 3 months from the beginning of MYCOX REM’s administration, the herd’s reproductive capacity indicators were brought back to values comparable to the circumstances preceding the problem’s onset.
BLOOD PARAMETERS
The positive results obtained, in addition to being attributable to the positive effects that an effective mycotoxin inactivator (Mycox Rem) exerts on the dry matter intake and on rumen fermentations, can also be explained by an overall improvement in the physiological and immune animals’ status.
The blood parameters carried out 60 days after the intervention showed a clear improvement, with significant differences compared to the control group, in the immune, antioxidant and inflammatory states, which instead remained in conditions considered to be at risk in the control animals.
CASE 2: DAIRY COWS
-280 cows in lactation
– Average milk production: 30 litres
– Divided into 2 groups, the fresh multiparous (equivalent in production, performance and lactation days terms):
1. CONTROL group treated with a generic mycotoxin inactivator (Clinoptilolite) at a quantity of 150 g/cow/day;
2. TEST group treated with a technological mycotoxin inactivator (MYCOX REM by Granda Team) at a quantity of 15 g/cow/day.
COMPANY SCENARIO
Found mycotoxins’ precence in the dry and lactation unifeed at the new silomais trench’s opening and a banded alfalfa not excellent:
Problems encountered on animals:
5 mortality’s cases in the lactation group
Strong Dry Matter’s ingestion reduction
Average productivity reduction
Reduction of faecal consistency up to diarrhea with poorly digested faeces and traces of blood
Health status’ worsening with an increase in heat returns
PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE
The GREY COLUMN indicates the month of the mycotoxin problem’s onset, the RED boxes indicate the results obtained by the CONTROL GROUP, the GREEN boxes indicate the results obtained by the TEST GROUP WITH MICOX REM.
The treatment group showed a rapid recovery of the milk production’s average, reaching production performance prior to the problem’s onset in just 60 days.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE
The GREY COLUMN indicates the month of the mycotoxin problem’s onset, the RED boxes indicate the results obtained by the CONTROL GROUP, the GREEN boxes indicate the results obtained by the TEST GROUP WITH MICOX REM.
The treatment group showed a rapid improvement in reproductive performance, reaching values similar to the period prior to the problem’s onset in just 60 days.
HEALTH PROBLEMS
The GREY COLUMN indicates the month of the mycotoxin problem’s onset, the RED boxes indicate the results obtained by the CONTROL GROUP, the GREEN boxes indicate the results obtained by the TEST GROUP WITH MICOX REM.
The treatment group showed a rapid improvement in the health situation, reaching values similar to the period prior to the problem’s onset within about 60 days.
Mycotoxicosis is a serious problem in cattle farming.
The problem’s perception varies greatly among livestock realities, not only due to different sensitivity and management attention but also, and above all, due to the symptoms that are often variable and not constant over time, especially in prolonged exposure’s cases to low toxins’ levels.
These variability in manifestation and perception influence the time between the problem’s onset and the nutritional intervention with serious repercussions for the farm’s profitability.
Mycotoxins cause not only the herd’s health status deterioration due to their specific toxicity but also the defensive capacities’ reduction in apparently healthy animals, also increasing the incurring pathological phenomena’s risk in them.
By negatively interfering with rumen fermentations, in addition to further increasing this risk, they significantly and strikingly reduce production and reproductive performance.
In this regard, it must be remembered that mycotoxicosis can also occur only with a reduction in zootechnical performance.
The MYCOX REM’s use in the mycotoxicosis’ management represents a valid strategy able to quickly achieve the herd’s normal conditions restoration as regards:
- health status
- productive and reproductive performance
- immune status
- inflammatory state
- antioxidant status.
