[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 811188, member: 391"] I test my feed for Mycotoxins- so I know when I have to be careful or add a binder(very costly but cheaper than high priced winter feed) Its fairly cheap to test- So far I have never gotten back a result that worried me- but it makes me feel more secure. I always test new waste or byproduct feed ingredient, till I get a good baseline for what to expect. I stacked ten loads of Modified Wet Distillers this fall- and ran several tests on it over the winter (I was worried that the pile stayed hot) and it came back fine every time and lost VERY little nutrients even in the worst rot. I'll only test it one or two times next year. After that I will just test my TMR, until I see a problem then go looking for the source. Funny thing about testing is I have sent REALLY Moldy looking samples in along with a diluted mix from the whole pile- and they come back pretty close to the same thing. Most of the Mycotoxins are there when the grain/forage was originally harvested. [/QUOTE]
