What are the prevention methods for aflatoxin poisoning in pigs?

Persistently refusing to feed moldy feed is the fundamental preventive measure. Preventing feed from becoming moldy is also an important part of prevention.

1. After grains mature, harvest them promptly, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a ventilated place to avoid mold.

2. Strengthen the storage of feed, taking care to keep it dry; especially in warm and rainy areas or seasons, more attention should be paid to preventing feed from becoming moldy.

3. Do not feed pigs grains or food that have already become moldy and spoiled.

4. Once a pig is found to be poisoned, immediately stop feeding the moldy feed and switch to fresh feed.

5. For slightly moldy grain feed, soak it in 3 times the amount of clean water for a full day and night, then replace it with an equal amount of clean water and soak again; by repeating this water change 3 to 4 times in succession, most of the toxins can be leached out by the clean water. Then take it out, dry it in the sun, and use it as feed. If 10% limewater is used instead of clean water for soaking, the detoxification effect is even better.
