POULTRYINDONESIA, Jakarta — Based on an analysis of over 115,000 samples from 46 countries, Trouw Nutrition noted that the number of mycotoxin-contaminated samples in 2025 decreased compared to 2024. These samples spanned various feed raw materials, including grains, protein sources, by-products, silage, TMR (Total Mixed Rations), concentrates, and complete feeds. The most significant declines were reported in fumonisin and T-2 toxin levels.
However, contamination levels for deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) remained relatively similar to the previous year and were higher than those of fumonisin. Meanwhile, the average mycotoxin concentration in 2024 and 2025 samples reportedly showed no significant change. This suggests that in 2025, environmental factors favoring mold growth and mycotoxin production persisted, particularly in temperate regions.
These findings will be presented in full during Trouw Nutrition’s annual Global Mycotoxin Review, scheduled for Thursday, February 5. The presentation will be held in two sessions: an English session at 09:00 CET and a Spanish session at 16:00 CET.
Beyond the dominance of DON and ZEA contamination throughout 2025, the report also highlights several other aspects, including:
  • An analysis of enniatin as an emerging mycotoxin threat.
  • Practical guidelines for enhancing feed safety.
  • A global overview of mycotoxin contamination impacts, including the Asia-Pacific region.
In the English session, Dr. Swamy Haladi, Global Category Director for Mould & Mycotoxin Management at Trouw Nutrition, is scheduled as the keynote speaker, joined by Avinash Bhat as a guest speaker to review data and provide early-year predictions. The Spanish session will be led by Dr. Daniel Miranda as keynote speaker, with Eugenio Alcalde reviewing the data analysis and forecasts.
With a significant portion of 2025 raw materials still expected to be used in feed formulations throughout 2026, these findings serve as a vital reminder for the poultry industry to remain vigilant against mycotoxin risks.
