Global biotech leader Alltech has released its complete 2024 U.S. Harvest Analysis report which shows a combination of heavy early-season rains and late-season droughts has created distinct challenges for crop producers in the United States and indicates an overall moderate to high risk.

“The trend for corn grain and corn silage is somewhat higher across all regions of the U.S. than it was for 2023,” said Dr. Max Hawkins, global technical support for the Technology Group at Alltech. “This increase in risk is due to the occurrence and levels of type B trichothecenes primarily, but zearalenone and fumonisins are also included in the increase, particularly in the Eastern U.S. The result is an increased pressure on animal health and performance that producers will need to monitor moving forward to maintain a proactive mycotoxin management program.”

Alltech’s Harvest Analysis program tests samples collected from sites across the country at the leading-edge Alltech 37+® lab, which can detect the presence of 54 mycotoxins.

Alltech hosted “From Field to Feed: 2024 Crop and Mycotoxin Analysis” last November where panelists shared valuable insights for managing risks across the supply chain.
