ADVICE
NO EASY ANSWER
There are no easy solutions to
mycotoxin problems in corn, noted
Dr. H. L. Trenholm of Agriculture
Canada's Research Centre in Ot-
tawa.
He was speaking at a Clinton
meeting organized by the Huron
County Pork Producers Associa-
tion and attended by 80 mainly
farrow to finish hog producers.
There are some 40 different toxins
involved with pink mold, he said,
and much more research is needed
to find answers.
He gave several suggestions to
minimize problems.
1. Thoroughly dilute con-
taminated grain with clean grain.
The toxins are so powerful that lit-
tle is needed to cause problems.
2. Select varieties with heads
that droop early to prevent rain
entering through the top.
3. Plant corn in wide rows to
allow better air circulation and in-
hibit the formation of mold.
4. Harvest as early as possible as
mold enters through tops opened
by bird damage or by corn -borer
damage and keeps spreading
through the cob.
4. Adjust the combine to reject
black, shrivelled kernels and rotten
tops.
5. Plow down refuse completely
to kill mold.
6. Dry with high heat to finish
quickly because extra drying time
allows mold to continue growing.
7. Don't dry corn partially (14 to
15 per cent) and let it dry further in
storage bins. This allows mold to
spread that much longer.
8. Keep moldy corn in cribs
separate from clean corn. The
mold will spread.
9. Feed suspect corn first to a
small group of gilt weaners and
watch for vulva redness. Do not
feed to breeding stock. Reproduc-
tive damage is irreversible.
10. Screen for the removal of
black cob tips.
Trenholm said that much more
research is needed to discover the
effects of the various toxins on
growth and fatness in hogs. It is
known that growth caused by
vomitoxins stops when the feeding
of moldy feed is discontinued. The
effect of zearelone on both sows
and- boars, however, is
permanent. ElAV
