Abstract
Mycotoxins are metabolites from filamentous fungi founded in environment and food, as pasture and cereals, intended for cattle feeding. Herd mycotoxin contamination is one of the big preoccupations around the world. The incorrect food production and storage, when conditions favor to proliferation of fungi that cause contamination, is problematic. These mycotoxins can cause carcinogenic, neurological and hepatic damages. The purpose of this literature review was to highlight the main mycotoxins, the etiologic agents, and mycotoxicosis that affect cattle. For this purpose, the Scielo, Pubmed and Portal Capes search bases were used, in addition to official websites, using the keywords "mycotoxins", "mycotoxicosis" and "fungal intoxication", with a focus on cattle.
