POET's Shon Van Hulzen presented on mycotoxin concentrations in distillers grains and the accuracy and precision of mycotoxin testing at the 22nd Annual Distillers Grains Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa. The talk was part of an ethanol industry initiative to improve the integrity of mycotoxin results on DDGS.
Mycotoxin testing reliability affects buyer confidence and acceptance of DDGS in feed rations, which can influence demand at the margin. The effect on prices is limited unless testing shows widespread contamination.
