Mycotoxicoses have been recognized worldwide to cause problems in animal production. Trichothecene mycotoxins, for the most part produced by Fusarium spp., have obtained particular importance. Between 1982 and 1984, 295 samples of feedstuffs (cereals and mixed feeds) have been analyzed

A general, sensitive gas chromatographic/negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometric (GC/NICIMS) method of analysis was developed for the detection and quantitation of several polar, thermally labile, toxic macrocyclic trichothecenes. The procedure involves the conversion of the molecules to their corresponding

The pharmacokinetics and renal excretion of a trichothecene mycotoxin, verrucarol, were studied in six mongrel dogs following IV administration (0.4 mg kg-1). The fraction of verrucarol excreted intact in the urine ranged from 0.9% to 2.7% of the administered dose.
