Attend our webinar on Mycotoxins and Microbiome Health in Poultry which will be hosted on April 17 at 15:00 CEST in partnership with Cargill.

Mycotoxins are a well-known silent threat to poultry health, particularly in relation to the gut microbiome. A healthy microbiome is essential for optimal poultry performance and immune function. But what happens when mycotoxins disrupt this delicate balance?

Join us for an insightful webinar where we will explore the intricate relationship between mycotoxins and the poultry microbiome. Learn how mycotoxins impact the gut microbiota directly and indirectly, and discover practical tools and solutions to measure, understand, and mitigate these risks.

Key Takeaways:

  • The critical role of the microbiome in poultry health.
  • How mycotoxins affect microbiota and immune response.
  • The tools you need to measure and manage mycotoxin risks effectively.
  • Proven solutions to ensure a healthy, thriving flock.
