Abstract
Work on the occurrence of mycotoxins and toxigenic fungi in Austria started in the mid-seventies with research on the role of the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (ZON) as a feed contaminant causing non-specific sterilities in cattle in the province of Upper Austria (Lengauer, 1977). However, the main stimulus for an in-depth study of the mycotoxin complex in Austrian agriculture, over the following years, emanated from massive feeding problems in porkers, caused by Fusarium toxins and affecting large stretches of Southeast Austria’s maize growing areas in the winter of 1977/78.
