Your livestock depend on you. Performance depends on the right mineral.
Do it right with the Alltech® Mineral Management program for better absorption, less waste and optimum health.
Mineral management is more than just preventing deficiencies.
Incorrect mineral supplementation can have major consequences on animal health and productivity. Traditional methods of supplementation have used inorganic minerals. However, inorganic minerals are poorly absorbed by the animal. This has caused a shift to organic mineral supplementation in many markets.
Break with tradition and feed your animals the modern way.
Alltech has proven that organic trace minerals in the form of Bioplex® and Sel-Plex® can be included at significantly lower levels while improving animal performance. This optimizes animal mineral requirements and reduces negative environmental impacts. We call this innovation Alltech’s Total Replacement Technology™ (TRT).
The Alltech Mineral Management program guarantees organic minerals that are better absorbed, stored and utilized by the animal. This meets the higher nutrient needs of modern livestock for growth, reproductive performance and animal health.
Trace mineral supplementation strategies for optimized poultry production
Explore the impact of different mineral sources on bird health, performance, and environmental sustainability, highlighting the advantages of organic trace minerals over inorganic alternatives. By selecting the right supplementation strategy, producers can improve efficiency, support animal well-being, and minimize mineral waste. Read the full article here.

Mycotoxins are natural substances produced by moulds and fungi. They are invisible, stable and toxic chemical compounds. Mycotoxin contamination is common in the farm environment, as they can survive in many places and on many different types of feed sources.
The growth of moulds — and, as a result, mycotoxin production — are most encouraged by environmental conditions such as temperature (hot/cool) and moisture (wet/dry). However, mycotoxins can also be produced by moulds when the host plant or the mould are exposed to other stress conditions.
Ever-present in the farm environment and a potential threat to the productivity of even the best-run livestock production operations, mycotoxin contamination should be on every feed producer’s and farmer’s radar.

Types of Mycotoxins
More than 500 different mycotoxins have been identified to date, and most animal feedstuffs are likely to be contaminated with multiple mycotoxins.
The most extensively studied mycotoxins are those produced by the molds Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium and Claviceps. Some of the key mycotoxins produced by these molds are aflatoxins, trichothecenes, ochratoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin), T-2/HT-2 toxins, zearalenone, fumonisins, mycophenolic acid, cyclopiazonic acid and ergot alkaloids.

Mycotoxin Symptoms
Although we continue to gain a greater understanding of mycotoxins, they often remain a hidden threat and are likely to be responsible for numerous undiagnosed health and performance issues in livestock worldwide. Mycotoxins impair optimal livestock performance by affecting the animal’s intestinal, organ and immune systems — which, in turn, has an obvious subsequent negative impact on farm profitability. Animals can ingest mycotoxins from numerous different sources, including pasture, preserved forages, grains, byproducts, complete commercial feeds and bedding materials.
For the majority of livestock producers, the presence of mycotoxins is more likely to result in a subtle, chronic problem rather than acute issues, but the outcome in all cases will be reduced performance and lost profits. The specific symptoms and impacts will vary based on the severity of the mycotoxin contamination, the types of mycotoxins ingested and the species type. However, mycotoxins will typically affect the bottom line of livestock operations through:
Why is the control of mycotoxins so important?
Animal productivity and farm profitability
Mycotoxins are hidden thieves and are likely to be responsible for numerous undiagnosed health issues in farmed livestock around the world. For most livestock producers, the presence of mycotoxins is more likely to result in a chronic issue that manifests over a longer period of time but that may not always result in acute symptoms. Mycotoxins impair optimal livestock performance by affecting the animal’s intestinal, organ and immune systems — which, in turn, has a subsequent negative impact on farm profitability.
Safer and healthier food for consumers
With ever-increasing demands from the end consumer and the growing concern surrounding food quality, animal feed safety has become a significant topic in agriculture. There is increasing pressure throughout the supply chain to ensure clean and safe feed for animals, which helps deliver a safer and healthier supply of food for consumers. It is increasingly clear that an effective mycotoxin control program is vital to protect the health and well-being of both animals and the consumer.
Alltech’s Mycotoxin Management Program
Alltech believes that effective mycotoxin management is about seeing the whole challenge — from the farm to the feed mill and from risk assessment to feed management. To effectively manage the inevitability of feed mycotoxin contamination, it is crucial to understand the level of the mycotoxin challenge so that the right steps can be taken to mitigate any adverse effects on animal performance, production efficiency and food safety.
The Alltech® Mycotoxin Management program provides solutions for pigs, poultry, aqua, pets, equines, dairy cows and beef cattle. Using a combination of powerful management tools, Alltech’s Mycotoxin Management program provides a complete, cutting-edge, global solution to help producers take control of mycotoxin contamination and protect their business. The program is built around next-generation risk identification technology, data analysis and insights, and mycotoxin binder solutions that are designed to reduce the damaging effects of mycotoxins on animal health and production potential.
Almost 90% of mycotoxin contamination is found to develop in crops pre-harvest, highlighting the importance of effective crop management in reducing the mycotoxin risk. Alltech’s Mycotoxin Management program has three steps:
Identify the risk with 37+ and Rapiread.
Quantify the risk with our Mycotoxin Management Portal.
Mitigate the risk to protect contaminated feedstuff.
Canada’s Regional Harvest Analysis
As a part of our management program, we test hundreds of crop and feed samples across Canada during the harvest season to better understand current mycotoxin levels and the threat they will pose to our livestock for the coming year.
Our experts review and interpret the collected data so they can share their insights on what it means for you.
While there are several important factors and data points to consider, here are a few key takeaways:
100% of the samples analyzed had 2+ mycotoxins
Major risk is from type-B trichothecenes (DON group
Timely and continual testing is key to identifying mycotoxin risks
If you missed our yearly Canadian Harvest Analysis webinar, you can view the recording below. Additionally, we produced a detailed follow-up report which you can download and view that highlights the topics covered in the webinar.

Alltech ACE Foundation
Alltech believes in giving back. For this reason, we established Alltech’s ACE Involvement Foundation, a charitable foundation to help fund the philanthropic efforts of our company, employees and partners around the world.
Sustainable Haiti Project
Following a devastating earthquake in 2010, Alltech launched the Sustainable Haiti Project in the town of Ouanaminthe with the goal of helping build a sustainable future in one small part of Haiti. Our efforts have focused on education by improving and upgrading schools, strengthening local Haitian enterprises by launching a Haitian coffee and a Haitian rhum, and leading various economic developments throughout the country.
Beyond the earthquake: Haiti's long-term challenges
There are many ongoing problems in Haiti that have been compounded by natural disasters. The poorest country in the Western hemisphere, centuries of poverty have resulted in poorly built and maintained structures and sprawling slums with makeshift housing. Additionally, unsustainable timber harvesting and agricultural clearing has continued for more than two centuries, resulting in devastating soil erosion. This has increased the frequency of flooding and reduced agricultural potential. Sustainable economic growth is the key to making a long-term difference in Haiti, which is why we are investing in its future at the grassroots level.
Sustainable growth begins in the community
There can be no sustainability without education, which is why the Alltech Sustainable Haiti Project includes complete financial responsibility as well as renovations and education support for two grade schools in northern Haiti. Our project has also resurrected a Haitian gem: the country’s 100 percent shade-grown Arabica coffee, which Alltech markets and sells as Alltech® Café Citadelle. Together, we are helping build a more sustainable future in one small part of Haiti by creating employment opportunities for the Haitian people and sparking a lifelong love of learning in its children.
We are dedicated to working alongside producers in order to optimize the well-being and performance of animals, unleashing their true genetic potential through nutrition.
The yeast cell has many valuable uses when it comes to crop production. Yeast extracts — the interior components of the cell — are rich in a wide variety of amino acids, which can complex with trace minerals for improved nutrient bioavailability.
Even before germination, a seed contains all of the genes that determine a plant’s full genetic potential. However, just because a seed has the capacity to perform does not mean it will. Stresses, nutrient limitations and hormone imbalances can permanently reduce gene expression throughout the growing cycle, limiting crop and yield productivity.
Healthy soil, defined as soil that has a high organic matter content, good biodiversity and high nutrient availability, provides an excellent basis for optimized crop health and production.
Through the incorporation of new technologies, efficiency in crop production has soared. However, so has demand for more sustainable management practices. Today, regulations are tightening, and there is more scrutiny than ever before from consumers regarding conventional herbicides, fungicides and insecticides.
