Harper Adams University College hosted a series of inaugural lectures recently.

Professor Simon Edwards, Professor of Plant Pathology at the University College, spoke about mycotoxins in cereals and how to prevent them from being a problem.

Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by a fungus which can reduce animal performance and affect animal and human health.

There are EU legislation limits for cereals intended for food, and EU guideline limits for cereals intended for feed.
