Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The paper starts by introducing the topic of mycotoxins and their significance in animal health. It then delves into a comprehensive literature review, discussing the occurrence and significance of mycotoxins, focusing on specific toxins like aflatoxin, ochratoxin, and zearalenone. The paper further examines the negative effects of mycotoxins on different animal species, including poultry, pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, and other ruminants. It also explores the metabolism of mycotoxins and their economic impact. The conclusion summarizes the main findings and provides recommendations for mitigating the risks of mycotoxin contamination.
