With the continuous rainy weather, newly harvested corn is prone to mold! Livestock farmers must make good use of mold inhibitors.

Mycotoxins are quietly eroding feed, threatening the health of farmed animals.
Mycotoxins are quietly eroding feed, threatening the health of farmed animals.
Recently, corn harvests have been concentrated in the Huanghuaihai region; however, the prolonged period of continuous rainy weather has posed a serious challenge to the autumn harvest. Under high-humidity conditions, harmful fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium, and Penicillium can easily and rapidly proliferate on corn. These fungi are capable of producing highly toxic substances, including aflatoxins and ochratoxins, during their metabolic processes.
Farmers must pay close attention to newly harvested corn; improper handling can directly threaten the health of livestock and poultry.
Under wet rain, mold poses a threat.
High-humidity environments provide ideal conditions for mold growth, and the post-harvest handling of corn is particularly fraught with risks.
Many farmers lack effective protection during harvesting, handling, and threshing, and are directly exposed to aerosol environments rich in mold spores.
Prolonged, high-intensity exposure may trigger respiratory diseases such as allergic pneumonitis and fungal bronchitis, or cause chronic damage to organs like the liver and kidneys through inhalation or ingestion of toxins.
Understand mycotoxins and see through the hidden killer.
Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by certain types of molds during growth in the field, as well as during harvesting, storage, or processing. They pose a serious threat to human and animal health, agricultural production, and the economy.
Aflatoxins are potent carcinogens that primarily cause liver cancer and are also associated with cancers of the stomach, kidney, and other organs.
Zearalenone has estrogenic effects and can disrupt the endocrine system.
The effects on the reproductive system are particularly pronounced: sows may exhibit vulvar redness and swelling, pseudocyesis, abortion, and stillbirth.
Vomitoxin can cause anorexia, vomiting, and diarrhea in animals—especially pigs.
Ochratoxin A is a potent nephrotoxin that can cause renal atrophy and kidney failure.
03 Scientific Prevention and Control, From Field to Storage
Faced with the threat of mycotoxins, Researcher Yao Yanpo proposed key measures for establishing a comprehensive, scientifically-based prevention and control system.
It is crucial to do a good job with “personal protection.”
When carrying out harvesting, threshing, and other related operations, farmers must wear KN95 or equivalent particulate-filtering masks properly and, as needed, also wear work clothes and gloves.
The key to controlling mold growth lies in rapidly reducing the moisture content of corn kernels below the safe threshold.
04 Mold removal agent The essential defense for livestock farms
For corn that has already become moldy, mycotoxin decontaminants have become an important choice for livestock farmers. In 2025, the animal husbandry sector will see an upgrade in mycotoxin removal technology, with Tuimijing—a product featuring a dual-action mechanism of “biological degradation plus physical adsorption”—emerging as a popular choice.
Leading brands use a combination of ingredients such as Bacillus subtilis and yeast cell wall polysaccharides, making them suitable for a wide range of livestock and poultry, including chickens, cattle, sheep, and pregnant animals like sows.
Its core advantage lies in its ability to efficiently degrade common mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, vomitoxin, and zearalenone.
Latest experiment
Broiler Glucose Oxidase Experiment
One-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were selected, with a total of 4 chicken houses, each housing 11,000 birds. The birds were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 2 chicken houses assigned to each group. The control group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with Changle (allicin and oregano phenol) at 100 mL/ton, while the treatment group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with glucose oxidase at 100 U/L. During the trial period, birds had free access to feed and water. The trial lasted for 42 days. The experimental diet consisted of corn, soybean meal, wheat, cottonseed meal, DDGS, peanut meal, duck fat, and premixes, among other ingredients; nutritional parameters are shown in Table 1.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Experiment
Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Broiler Diarrhea: A Raising Experiment Experimental Site: Jiyang Zheng* Animal Husbandry Farm Experiment Period: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015 Experimental Subjects: 30-day-old broilers Experimental Design: Control Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water Experimental Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water + lactic acid bacteria (liquid)
Piglet Fruit Milk Flavor Experiment
Twenty 28-day-old weaned piglets of the Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbreed, with similar body weights and in good health, were selected for the trial. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups: a control group and a test group. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the test group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 g/t of fruit-milk flavoring. Each group consisted of five replicates, with two piglets per replicate. During the trial period, the pigs had free access to feed and water, and the trial lasted for 28 days.
In this trial, 120 healthy, growing pigs of similar body condition, weighing 80 ± 10 kg, were randomly divided into a control group, an antibiotic group, and an essential oil group. The specific feeding design is shown in Table 1. Each group consisted of 4 replicates, with 10 pigs per replicate. The trial duration was 29 days. The experimental diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements outlined in NRC (2012). During the trial, pigs had free access to feed and water, and were subjected to routine husbandry management and vaccination protocols. Body weights at the beginning and end of the trial, as well as feed intake, were recorded. At the end of the trial, fresh fecal samples were collected from each pig, placed into sterile 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and stored at -80℃.
Tian Yikang replaces chlortetracycline in the ROSS-308 trial.
This experiment employed a single-factor experimental design. A total of 6,000 Ross-308 broiler chickens, aged 1 day and with roughly similar body weights and good health conditions, were randomly selected and divided into three treatment groups, with five replicates per group, each replicate consisting of 400 chickens. The control group was fed a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal. The experimental group 1, the antibiotic group, had 50 g/t of a 15% chlortetracycline premix added to the basal diet. The experimental group 2, the Tianyikang addition group, had 1,500 g/t of Tianyikang added to the basal diet. The entire experiment lasted for 42 days.
Since 1998, focused on animal feed intake and health.
