The Farmer 'DON' Mycotoxin Test Kit (See HGCA 2008 Guidance) |
|
Under new EU Legislation & Farm Assurance rules, farmers now are expected to
‘Assess The Risk of Mycotoxins entering The Food Chain’ from their Crops.
When are Mycotoxins a Risk? Consider Crop Market (i.e. Milling, Baby Food,
Feed etc) Previous Cropping, Tillage Technique, Rainfall at Flowering,
Variety resistance, Ear Fungicide applied(?), Harvest conditions, UK Region.
Identify Risk - using HGCA Point Scoring System (see HGCA Guideline 2007), examples: -
Highest Risks Factors = Food Consumption Wheat, Crops planted after Maize, Seedbed Trash, Wet at Flowering, No Ear Spray. Wet during Harvest, Region – In 2007 - Below The Humber to Cornwall.
Lowest Risk Factors = Feed Oats, Trash buried, Dry at flowering, Ear Spray, Dry Harvest.
When should the Farmer Test?
If Medium or High Risk scores, the farmer should consider Testing the resultant Crop himself.
In highest risk situations, Grain Buyers may test (with laboratory equipment) & typically charge the farmer £35-40 per load, as he has a ‘duty of care’ to the End User.
Where should the Farmer Test for ‘DON’? (Not to be confused with Storage Mycotoxins - Ochratoxin A.) At one or more of below:
- In Field Pre-Harvest, (ideally using Minibatt), to assess need for Crop Segregation in Store, to prevent mixing of different Crop Qualities & to reduce risk of large-scale rejections.
- As Crop Enters Store – Composite Sample (1Kg+) from each Trailer load as it comes into Store
- Post-Harvest Sampling in-Store to assess ‘DON’ levels for market suitability
Why should Farmers Test? - ADVANTAGES to FARMERS
-
To Segregate Crops in Store- To Help Meet Legal Obligations
- To Save Money, where market does not require Lab. Standard Testing.
-
Quicker Tests for market opportunities - Help avoid costly rejections at Intake Point.
Merchants are under huge pressure at Harvest to complete Testing for Hagberg, Protein, Moisture etc. so farmers can test much quicker & more cheaply, providing his/her market allows.
