Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that are commonly detected as natural contaminants in agricultural commodities worldwide. Mycotoxin exposure can lead to mycotoxicosis in both animals and humans when found in animal feeds and food products, and at lower concentrations can affect animal performance by disrupting nutrient digestion, absorption, metabolism, and animal physiology. Thus, mycotoxin contamination of animal feeds represents a significant issue to the livestock industry and is a health threat to food animals. Since prevention of mycotoxin formation is difficult to undertake to avoid contamination, mitigation strategies are needed. This review explores how the mycotoxins aflatoxins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisins and ochratoxin A impose nutritional and metabolic effects on food animals and summarizes mitigation strategies to reduce the risk of mycotoxicity.

霉菌毒素对食用动物生产的营养影响及缓解策略

霉菌毒素是由丝状真菌产生的有毒次级代谢产物，通常在全球农产品中被检测为天然污染物。当在动物饲料和食品中发现霉菌毒素时，会导致动物和人类出现霉菌毒素中毒，而较低浓度的霉菌毒素会破坏营养物质的消化、吸收、新陈代谢和动物生理，从而影响动物的生产性能。因此，动物饲料的霉菌毒素污染对畜牧业来说是一个重大问题，对食用动物的健康构成威胁。由于预防霉菌毒素的形成很难避免污染，因此需要缓解策略。这篇综述探讨了霉菌毒素黄曲霉毒素、脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇、玉米赤霉烯酮、
