Abstract: Mycotoxins (secondary metabolite) are produced by fungus. In animal body, the toxicity of mycotoxins is chronic, mycotoxins rarely cause death of the animal. But mycotoxins can reduce the nutritional value of feed and the animal production performance, thus impact on productivity. Mycotoxins which remain in animal products (meat, milk and so on) bring a serious threat to human health. The author introduced the common mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, deoxynivaleno, T-2 toxin, fumonisins and so on) in feed, and its toxicity and hazard, as well as reviewed the prevention measures and detoxification methods of mycotoxins to reduce the hazard of mycotoxins.

Key words: feed; mycotoxins; hazard; measures
