Mycotoxins feed contamination in a dairy farm - potential implications for milk contamination and workers' exposure in a One Health approach

Dairy farming feed can be contaminated with mycotoxins, affecting animals' health and milk quality. Dairy farming is also prone to occupational exposure to mycotoxins, and feed is recognized as a source of contamination in the workplace. An exploratory study was developed in a dairy farm located in Portugal intending to assess the mycotoxins present in the feed.This study was supported by the Polish Minister of Science and Higher Education, under the program ‘Regional Initiative of Excellence’ in 2019–2022 (Grant No. 008/RID/2018/19). Ricardo Assunção also thanks FCT/ MCTES for the financial support to CESAM (UID/AMB/50017/2019), through national funds.
