Serious problems were caused by feed pollution with Fusarium genus mould fungus mycotoxins zearalenone and deoxynivalenole. As a result, the number of aborted pregnant sows were increased, piglets weaned as well as daily body mass gain decreased. Mycotoxins inactivator Mykofix 3.0 was supplemented to the feed to normalize the situation. Feed premix with antibiotics was fed out to the weaned piglets. As a result the situation improved significantly. Sows abortion decreased within the limits of the norm as well as the number of piglet death was diminished and animals’ daily body weight also was increased.
