Spring and summer, guard dog moldy feed

Coincided with spring and early summer, such an environment to diet to mold growth and toxin production provided the conditions. These not only directly affect seriously the growth of dog breeding and training in the use of, or will threaten the lives of dogs. So how to ensure a healthy diet for dogs, has become an urgent task. This article from the diet causes mildew, damage, detection and prevention and control methods, the clinical symptoms in dogs and treatment were described.

Moldy feed dogs is due to feed the large population of the mold caused by mold contaminated feed, the nutrients are broken down, palatability decreased, while producing a variety of mycotoxins is very likely to slow the growth of dogs, feed intake decreased , digestibility decreased, serious harm to dog health and even cause poisoning. Pollution are known to feed about 30 kinds of molds, mycotoxins produced by some 200 species.

First, the main factors moldy feed occurred

1, environment and weather conditions

Moldy feed mainly caused by the fungus, most of these fungi are Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium spp. Most of them belong to medium temperature microorganisms (mesophilic bacteria), fungal reproductive toxin production of optimum temperature for 25 ~ 30 ℃. Including Aspergillus optimum growth temperature of 30 ℃, 25 ℃ and Penicillium spp about Fusarium is generally about 20 ℃. If the relative humidity to 70% or less, feed it more dry, mold will not grow moldy feed is not easy. Moldy feed from the national survey results, both the feed material or feed products, feed in the degree of mold detection and mold contaminated volume, in the south are much higher than the north, and has obvious seasonal.
