November 15, 2024 - Olmix has announced the launch of its MycoKingdom.net website, a platform dedicated to the management and understanding of mycotoxin risk. This initiative aims to address a growing concern in the agricultural sector, where mycotoxins represent a major issue for animal nutrition. Present in a wide variety of crops such as corn and wheat, they can have harmful effects on animal health if not properly controlled.
Tools for a better understanding of the risk
Myco'Kingdom gathers seven functionalities for identifying, assessing, preventing and managing mycotoxin risk, in order to minimise economic losses linked to contamination. "Thanks to this platform of interactive tools, designed for simple, intuitive navigation, Olmix is extending its range of services to support livestock professionals on a daily basis: nutritionalists, formulators, technicians, veterinarians and breeders", explains Marie Gallissot, Head of the mycotoxin solutions range at Olmix.
Among the tools on offer is Myco'Essential, a real guide containing general information on the nature of mycotoxins (around 30 different molecules studied belonging to nine families) and more specific information on their effects on animals and the level of toxicity of the most common mycotoxins. In addition, the Myco'Simulator provides an in-depth understanding of mycotoxins. It shows the structure of the six main mycotoxins to learn about their physico-chemical behaviour, which gives them their toxicity.
A reference platform for mycotoxin management
Correct sampling is essential, as it accounts for 80% of laboratory analytical error. Myco'ingdom contains a sampling procedure that outlines the best practices for collecting feed samples, to ensure accurate mycotoxin studies. The Myco'Screen service offers different types of analysis, including rapid methods and full screenings (up to 44 mycotoxins per sample) using chromatography. "Supporting our users in their choice of analysis, and interpreting the results via customised reports, is a real added value, helping them to make risk management decisions with complete confidence", adds Leandro Royo, Mycotoxin Risk Production Manager.
Tools that have built the companies reputation in mycotoxin expertise in recent years, such as the Myco'Evaluator, a diagnostic tool, or the Myco'Calculator, which optimises the use of their solutions, are also integrated into the platform.
In the event of a proven risk, Olmix offers two solutions: MT X+, in powder form, is suitable for feed mills and premix producers, while the micro granulated MMi S version is particularly suitable for direct use on farms.
