(2019) "Effect of ViligenTM, Feed Form, and Storage Time on Fumonisin Concentrations in Corn," Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports: Vol 5: Iss. 8. https://doi.org/10.4148/ 2378-5977.7845. This trial was conducted to determine the effect of ViligenTM (Alltech, Lexington, KY), feed form and storage time (0, 3, or 7 d) on reducing the fumonisin (FUM) concentration in diets
Each batch was divided into 500-lb batches with or without Viligen at 0.15% of the diet
Summary
This trial was conducted to determine the effect of ViligenTM (Alltech, Lexington, KY), feed form (meal or pelleted) and storage time (0, 3, or 7 d) on reducing the fumonisin (FUM) concentration in diets. Each batch was divided into 500-lb batches with or without Viligen at 0.15% of the diet. Diets were left as a meal or pelleted and stored at room temperature for 0, 3, and 7 d to determine the reduction of FUM over time. The result indicated that there were no main or interactive effects (P > 0.05) of Viligen, feed form, and storage time. There were marginal (P < 0.10) 3- and 2-way interactive effects, but the magnitude of response likely was not large enough to have biological effects on nursery pig performance
