Abstract: Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by different fungi,which have significant toxic effects on animals and humans,including reducing livestock and poultry production performance,damaging organ function,affecting the immune function of the body,causing oxidative damage to cells and DNA,and even leading to animal death.Mycotoxin contamination of feed and raw materials is a widespread,global problem that can occur both in crop field and during storage.Based on this,each year,the contamination of the feed and its raw materials has caused huge economic losses to the livestock and poultry breeding industry.Therefore,prevention and control of mold growth and removal of mycotoxins in feed has become a hot research topic at home and abroad.Indeed,different mycotoxins have different adverse effect on different animals,and the addition of appropriate substances (montmorillonite and enzyme preparations) during livestock and poultry breeding can effectively inhibit the mycotoxin activity and alleviate the toxicity of mycotoxins.In this paper,the harm of zearalenone,fumonisins,deoxynivalenol,T-2 mycotoxin,aflatoxins and ochratoxins to livestock and poultry were systematically discussed and the methods of reducing mycotoxins in feed and its raw materials from the physical,chemical and biological perspectives were introduced,so as to provide a basis for the rational and effective prevention and control of mycotoxins contamination and the protection of healthy breeding of livestock and poultry.

Key words: mycotoxins; livestock; toxicity; reduction methods
