| Abstract: | Summary The trichothecene, vomitoxin, was found in two Austrian corn samples at levels of 1.3 and 7.9 ppm and in one Canadian corn sample at a level of 7.9 ppm; all three corn samples were rejected when fed to swine. Feed made from the latter corn sample contained 1.4 ppm vomitoxin.Kernels from these corn samples were examined for Fusarium graminearum. The mold was found only in the two Austrian corn samples, and four of the isolates produced vomitoxin at levels ranging from 3.7 to 16.7 ppm.The mention of firm names or trade products does not imply that they are endorsed or recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture over other firms or similar products not mentioned |
