T-2 mycotoxin, often called the assassin toxin, is one of the most aggressive and overlooked feed risks in dairy production. In this episode of Ruminate This, Dr. Larry Roth explains how T-2 disrupts protein synthesis, damages the rumen and intestines, and creates serious health challenges at levels as low as 75 ppb.
They connect T-2 exposure to Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS), gut integrity breakdown, and increased risk from Clostridium perfringens. The discussion also covers feed risks, including refusal management, TMR variability, and why passing down feed can increase mycotoxin exposure.
