Detecting the Invisible Danger: New Serum and Plasma Mycotoxin Testing Service

In a continuous effort to safeguard animal health and the integrity of livestock farms, we are pleased to present our latest development in the field of veterinary toxicology: the pioneering HPLC-MSMS mycotoxin determination service in serum and plasma.

In collaboration with Exopol, we have developed a method that significantly expands detection capabilities, allowing us to analyze mycotoxins in previously unexplored matrices such as serum and plasma.

Historically, mycotoxin detection focused on plant matrices, such as feed or forage. However, this development puts us at the forefront in Spain, offering the possibility of confirming whether animals have ingested feed contaminated with mycotoxins, by revealing detectable concentrations of these substances or their metabolites in the blood.

This service is presented as a valuable method to directly assess the level of intoxication in animals using a simple blood sample.

Our laboratory already had an established service for mycotoxin detection by HPLC-MSMS in feed or forage, providing essential information to identify the source of origin of mycotoxins.

Now, with the ability to analyze blood samples, we can confirm the presence of these toxins and assess their direct impact on animal health.

The importance of this innovation lies in the current problems associated with the presence of mycotoxins in feed and forage. Exposure to these substances can have devastating consequences, affecting both production and animal health on livestock farms.

Early detection is crucial, as mycotoxins can be transferred from feed to animal, triggering diseases that can significantly decrease production and jeopardize livestock welfare.

By choosing our service, you are taking a proactive step towards protecting your animals and the sustainability of your farm.

We detect up to 15 different mycotoxins. Do not hesitate to contact us for more details on how we can help you preserve animal health.
