The relative susceptibilities of major cereal species to mycotoxin contamination have rarely been studied in eastern Canada or elsewhere. The concentration of 13 mycotoxins in 673 corn (Zea mays L.), 99 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), 116 barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and 73 oat (Avena sativa L.) samples collected from eastern Canada from 1991 to 1998 crops were compared. Deoxynivalenol (DON) was found to be the most common mycotoxin in all four species. DON contamination was more frequent but less severe in corn than in wheat and barley, and it was least frequent and least severe in oats. Wheat and barley were equally susceptible to DON contamination. The DON content of 8.9% of the corn, 31.3% of the wheat, 22.4% of the barley, and 1.4% of the oat samples exceeded 1 mg.kg(-1), the maximum tolerance level recommended for swine feed. Contamination with zearalenone, T-2, HT-2, diacetoxyscirpenol, ochratoxin A, nivalenol, fumonisins, 3-acetyl DON, or 15-acetyl DON was minor in eastern Canada and varied from species to species. Fusarenon X, 15-monoacetoxyscirpenol, and neosolaniol were not detected. Equally significant, approximately one third of the corn and barley samples were contaminated with two to seven mycotoxins. The presence of two or more mycotoxins could have additive or synergistic effects on the toxicity. Measures to reduce DON contamination are needed for corn, wheat, and barley.
