“…Furthermore, mould growth decreases the nutritive value of the silage even more and also lowers its palatability (DiConstanzo et al 1995, Wilkinson 2005. Mould species that regularly have been isolated from silage belong to the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus, Mucor, Byssochlamys, Fusarium, Alternaria, Geotrichum, Monascus, Paecilomyces and Trichoderma (Nout et al 1993, Auerbach et al 1998, O'Brien et al 2005, Mansfield et al 2008, Declerck et al 2009). Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium are the most important mycotoxin producing mould genera.…”
