Purpose
The OMAFRA Field Crops team conducted a condensed version of its annual vomitoxin survey to assess the presence of corn ear mould and grain vomitoxin in the 2015 corn crop. Vomitoxins can be produced by Gibberella and Fusarium ear moulds and can be disruptive when fed to livestock, particularly hogs. The purpose of this annual survey is to increase our understanding and assess industry risk.
