The Mycotoxin Blue Book focuses on the physiological effects and field occurrence of mycotoxins. Detailed information on types of moulds and mycotoxins and the conditions under which moulds flourish is included.

Implications of mycotoxin contamination of feedstuffs for all major food animal species are presented in addition to aquaculture and companion animals.
