Optimising nutrition is crucial for ensuring high reproductive performance and longevity in sows, as well as overall health and productivity. Among the essential components within the sows’ diet, trace minerals play a vital role in maintaining the health and reproductive efficiency of our breeding herd.

Alltech’s chelated minerals offer a superior solution to trace mineral nutrition by enhancing bioavailability, absorption and utilisation in the sow.

The importance of trace minerals in sow reproductive performance

Although they are only required in modest amounts, trace minerals such as zinc, copper, iron, manganese and selenium are fundamental to sow nutrition, particularly in supporting fertility, farrowing house performance, and longevity within the herd (Figure 1). However, it’s not just mineral concentrations within the diet that require consideration — the actual source of these minerals is significantly important.

Traditionally, commercial sow diets have been formulated with inorganic sources of trace minerals, such as copper sulphate and sodium selenite, due to their relatively inexpensive cost. However, minerals from inorganic sources are extremely reactive in the premix, in the feed, and in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal, due to their poor stability. As a result, the uptake and utilisation of these minerals can be limited, resulting in suboptimal performance. Inclusion levels are also regularly over-formulated to ensure that the sows’ requirements are actually met, but this leads to high levels of mineral excretion and waste.

For this reason, there is increasing interest in alternative forms of trace minerals which are better absorbed, stored and utilised by the sow. Chelated trace minerals provide this effective alternative.

Figure 1. The importance of trace minerals for sow reproductive performance and overall productivity

Modern animal production requires a modern approach to mineral supplementation

Alltech has proven that modern nutritional management can be achieved by supplementing chelated trace minerals in the form of Bioplex® minerals (including zinc, copper, iron and manganese) and Sel-Plex® organic selenium, which are scientifically and commercially proven to optimise sow nutrition. Because Bioplex and Sel-Plex are more stable and have enhanced bioavailability compared to inorganic mineral sources, pig producers can supplement their sows’ diets at significantly lower inclusion levels while still improving sow performance.  

Alltech’s approach to mineral management promotes several key benefits, some of which include:

1. Improved sow performance: Bioplex and Sel-Plex have been shown to optimise reproductive performance, with more piglets born alive per litter. These mineral technologies also support milk quality, including higher mineral levels in the milk.
2. Increased sow longevity: Bioplex and Sel-Plex contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. This protection is conducive to overall health and longevity as well as productivity.
3. Enhanced mineral bioavailability and stability: Bioplex and Sel-Plex are designed with improved stability and bioavailability, ensuring that the minerals remain in a form that the sow can effectively absorb, store and utilize.
4. Reduced mineral excretion: Through enhanced absorption and utilisation and lower inclusion rates, Bioplex and Sel-Plex help in reducing mineral excretion, thereby helping to reduce the environmental impact of intensive pig production.

A proven mineral solution for pig producers

European pig producers face increasing pressure to improve production efficiency while adhering to stricter environmental regulations. By incorporating Alltech’s trace mineral solutions into their nutritional programs, pig producers can unlock the full reproductive potential of their sows while supporting overall health and longevity, improved efficiency, and more profitable production.

Mycotoxin contamination in imported grains continues to be a critical challenge for animal feed producers in Asia. As feed production in the region grows, so does its reliance on imported raw materials from major grain-exporting regions such as Europe, North America and Latin America.

The Alltech 2025 Asia Import Risk Analysis sheds light on mycotoxin risks, offering valuable insights for both ruminant and monogastric nutrition.

Understanding mycotoxin risks in imported grains

Dr. Ghazanfar Naseer, Alltech Asia regional technical manager for ruminants and mycotoxins, emphasizes that mycotoxin contamination poses a serious threat to animal health and productivity.

“Mycotoxins are invisible, but their impact is not,” he warns. “For ruminants like dairy and beef cattle, these toxins can lead to lower milk production, reduced growth rates and long-term health issues.”

Similarly, Gustavo Sa Ribeiro, Alltech Asia regional technical manager for monogastric, highlights how mycotoxins can significantly affect swine and poultry production.

“As we learn more about mycotoxins, we see the damaging effects on animal performance and feed efficiency. Understanding their presence in imported raw materials is essential for making informed decisions.”

Regional mycotoxin profiles: Key findings

Europe

• Mycotoxin risk varies significantly between Northern and Southern Europe.
• Northern Europe: Deoxynivalenol (DON) is the primary concern, impacting dairy cows with reduced milk yield and higher somatic cell counts.
• Southern Europe: Aflatoxin contamination is prevalent in corn, posing liver health risks and reducing productivity.

United States

• Pre-harvest rains led to Fusarium-related mycotoxin challenges, with DON, zearalenone, and fumonisins being the most prominent.
• 85% of U.S. corn samples tested were contaminated with fumonisins, which can cause feed refusal and immune suppression in cattle.
• Post-harvest drought resulted in damaged kernels and foreign matter, increasing storage and transportation risks.

Canada

• Fusarium toxins were dominant in wheat and barley samples.
• Although the risk was lower than in the previous harvest, individual samples contained elevated mycotoxin levels, stressing the need for routine testing.

Brazil

• Aflatoxin, DON, fumonisins and zearalenone continue to be the primary concerns.
• 75% of Brazilian corn samples tested positive for fumonisins, with some reaching 22,800 ppb, a dangerously high level for ruminants.
• High Fusarium toxin concentrations pose severe risks, particularly for swine.

Implications for ruminant and monogastric species

Ruminant:

• Corn byproducts from North America and Europe have an average risk equivalent quantity (REQ) of 392 for dairy cows, indicating a high risk level.
• This could result in a 5% drop in milk production and a 7% increase in somatic cell counts, impacting milk quality and profitability.
• Fumonisins in Brazilian and U.S. corn can impair feed efficiency and overall herd health.

Monogastric:

• U.S. corn samples contained an average of 7.8 mycotoxins per sample, with 100% of tested samples showing contamination from multiple toxins.
• Type B trichothecenes, fumonisins and zearalenone are the most concerning mycotoxins for swine and poultry.
• Negative effects on average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratios (FCRs) highlight the importance of proactive risk management.

Managing mycotoxin risks in imported feed ingredients

To safeguard animal performance and business profitability, Alltech recommends implementing a holistic mycotoxin management strategy, including:

• Routine mycotoxin testing, using tools like Alltech 37+® and Alltech® RAPIREAD™, to detect contamination levels before feed formulation
• Quality control measures for raw material procurement, to reduce inclusion of high-risk ingredients
• Nutrition strategies tailored to minimize mycotoxin exposure effects on animal health and productivity

[BANGKOK, Thailand] – Alltech, a global leader in animal nutrition, has released the results of the Alltech 2025 Asia Import Risk Analysis. Now in its 4^th edition, this report provides Asian feed and livestock producers with the insights needed to optimize nutritional strategies in the coming months. It uses data from the Alltech 2024 Harvest Analysis programs carried out across Europe and North America.

“The 2025 Asia Import Risk Analysis discloses significant diversity in crop quality and mycotoxin risk across the key grain-growing regions globally,” said Nick Adams, commercial director at Alltech. “Contrasting weather conditions in Europe are resulting in a distinct difference in mycotoxin profiles between grains harvested in Southern and Northern Europe. In the U.S., pre-harvest rains have created Fusarium challenges, with deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone and fumonisins presenting the greatest risk. These findings illustrate the importance of understanding the mycotoxin landscape when purchasing raw materials and taking a proactive approach to countering these quality challenges.”

Key themes identified from the 2024 harvest, by region:

Europe: There is a distinct difference in mycotoxin profiles between grains harvested in Southern and Northern Europe. Deoxynivalenol (DON) presents the greatest challenge in northern countries, while aflatoxin dominates in corn originating in southern regions.

U.S.: Rains pre-harvest created Fusarium challenges in the U.S., with DON, zearalenone and fumonisins presenting the greatest risk. The rains were followed by a very dry harvest, resulting in more damaged kernels and a greater percentage of foreign matter. This may present subsequent storage and shipping issues.

Canada: Fusarium toxins dominated in wheat and barley samples. Although generally, a lower risk was seen compared to the previous harvest, many individual samples contained elevated levels of mycotoxins, emphasizing the importance of routine raw material testing.

Brazil: Similar to the previous harvest, aflatoxin, DON, fumonisins and zearalenone were the primary mycotoxins of interest in Brazilian sampling programs. The average concentrations of some of the Fusarium toxins would pose high levels of risk for pigs in particular.

The report also contains risk assessments for individual species, such as broilers, grow-finish pigs and dairy cows.

[LEXINGTON, Ky.] – Alltech, a global leader in biotechnology, has released the complete Alltech 2024 U.S. Harvest Analysis report. The comprehensive final report shows that a combination of heavy early-season rains and late-season droughts has created distinct challenges for crop producers in the United States and indicates that overall risk is moderate to high.

“The trend for corn grain and corn silage is somewhat higher across all regions of the U.S. than it was for 2023,” said Dr. Max Hawkins, global technical support for the Technology Group at Alltech. “This increase in risk is due to the occurrence and levels of type B trichothecenes primarily, but zearalenone and fumonisins are also included in the increase, particularly in the Eastern U.S. The result is an increased pressure on animal health and performance that producers will need to monitor moving forward to maintain a proactive mycotoxin management program.” 

The final mycotoxin risk will ultimately depend on the animal species and groups being fed and the mycotoxin concentrations and combinations in the finished diet.

Mycotoxins, which are natural substances produced by molds and fungi, are more prevalent — and more of a problem in agriculture — than ever before. More than 95% of crops today are contaminated with at least one mycotoxin, and usually with two or more. Because these toxins are difficult to detect, they can cause significant damage to animal health before producers even realize they are present. A proactive mycotoxin management program is essential, and the first step is learning which mycotoxins pose the highest risk in specific regions, crops and species.

The Alltech 2024 U.S. Harvest Analysis program tests samples of new-crop grains and forages collected from farms or animal feed production sites across the country, ensuring an accurate picture of mycotoxin contamination. All samples are tested at the leading-edge Alltech 37^+® lab, which can detect the presence of 54 mycotoxins.

Other key results from the Alltech 2024 U.S. Harvest Analysis include:

Corn silage

The Upper Midwest showed higher risk due to DON than in 2023, while other regions showed a similar risk to 2023. Emerging mycotoxins and Type B trichothecenes had the highest prevalence.

Corn

The risk from corn grain is primarily DON and fumonisins. The risk in the East is similar to 2023, while the risk in the Midwest is greater than 2023, particularly for monogastrics.

On Nov. 21, 2024, Alltech hosted “From Field to Feed: 2024 Crop and Mycotoxin Analysis”, a broadcast streamed live from Alltech’s headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky, U.S. During the broadcast, panelists shared valuable insights for managing risks across the supply chain. Here are the key takeaways:

• Test and monitor: Regularly test crops and feed to understand what’s present and to ensure high quality.
• Leverage weather data: Pay attention to weather patterns and farm-specific conditions to assess potential risks early.
• Use comprehensive information: Gather unbiased data from all aspects of your operation and tailor it to fit your specific needs.
• Combine methods: Utilize both traditional techniques and new technologies to refine processes and ensure feed quality.
• Act proactively: If mycotoxins are present, be proactive with management to ensure high-quality feed production, thus protecting animals and safeguarding your operation’s resilience and success.
