Advances in Research on Biodegradation of Mycotoxins in Feed

Mycotoxins are extremely toxic and carcinogenic. They pose severe threat to both livestock productivity and human health and thus bring huge worldwide economic losses in animal husbandry and food industry annually. A safe, effective and environment friendly detoxification method is urgently needed for controlling these toxins because of many application defects of physical and chemical detoxification. Toxicological mechanism and biodegradation research of mycotoxins are comprehensively reviewed, and some strategies and advices on existing difficulties of biodegradation research are also proposed in this paper.
