Mycotoxins are a bombshell in distillers grains

If corn arriving at the ethanol plant is contaminated with mycotoxins, it will result in a further 3-fold concentration of aflatoxins, fumonisin, zearalenone, T2 toxins, etc. The extraction and fermentation of the corn starch, as well as the subsequent DDGS drying process, will not eliminate these contaminants.
