More than 300 chemically different mycotoxins have been identified to date, among which the most important are aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, and patulins. Approximately 25% of global food crops are significantly affected by mycotoxins every year. Animals become exposed to the adverse effects of mycotoxins when fed mycotoxin-contaminated feed, and animal byproducts containing mycotoxin residues become a constant source of exposure to the human population. Once mycotoxins enter the food chain, their complete removal is inevitable; therefore, different control strategies are being adopted to minimize the adverse effects associated with them. This review encompasses various control strategies adapted to minimize mycotoxicosis. Keywords : Mycotoxins, Animal feed, Poultry feed, Mycotoxicosis, Control strategies
