title: Mycotoxins in Swedish grains and mixed feeds.
abstract: Approximately 68 samples of grains and mixed feeds associated with disturbances in animal breeding from 1977 and 1978 were analyzed for ochratoxin A, zearalenone, aflatoxin, and 9 trichothecenes. Six contained ochratoxin A (40-1690 ppb, average of 750 ppb) and 2 contained zearalenone (1200 and less than 100 ppb). Aflatoxin was detected in a sample from formic acid-treated oats with a level of 2600 ppb at the surface of the stored grain. Deoxynivalenol was detected in two samples. One contained approximately 2 ppm and was confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (GLC/MS).
