Maize and grass silages are important for ruminant livestock, but the presence of fungi and mycotoxins can impact the quality of silage and subsequently, milk. This study in Portugal found common fungal species and analyzed their mycotoxin profiles. Fusarium mycotoxins were detected at low levels, while Penicillium and Aspergillus toxins were less prevalent in the silages studied.
Maize and grass silages are important dietary components for ruminant livestock that influence the quality of animal products for human consumption, such as milk, in many parts of the world. Infection of plants by fungi able to produce mycotoxins, either in the field or post-harvest, can result in a decrease of silage nutritional quality and, consequently, in milk quality. In this study, 45 maize and grass silage samples were collected from 25 dairy farms located in the north of Portugal. The occurrence of fungi was evaluated in samples, the most frequently isolated species being Aspergillus fumigatus, Dipodascus geotrichum, Mucor circinelloides, Penicillium paneum, and Aspergillus flavus. The mycotoxigenic profile of the fungal species was studied using the ultra -highperformance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry-ion trap-time-of-flight (UHPLC-MS-IT-TOF) detection. In addition, a new method based on a QuEChERS extraction followed by the UHPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) detection was developed for simultaneous analysis of 39 mycotoxins in silage. A high co-occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins was found, although at low levels of contamination. Deoxynivalenol and beauvericin were found in more than 82% of maize silage samples. It can be highlighted the low occurrence of Penicillium and Aspergillus toxins in the maize and grass silages studied despite the frequent detection of species of both genera.
