Abstract

Data on the occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in commodities and feed in Croatia and in Europe are very limited. In the present study, 50 feed and commodity samples tested for the presence of these mycotoxins yielded highest concentrations in cattle feed (67.68 ng/g) and oat samples (32.94 ng/g). In the future, screening should include greater numbers of feed and commodity samples to shed more light on the presence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins.
