Description

Christopher Garnham and his team at AAFC have discovered something very small that could have big impacts in the food and feed industry. Some crops such as corn and wheat can be infected by a fungus that, while growing, produces mycotoxins. Ingestion of mycotoxin-laden food and feed is detrimental to the health of livestock and humans. Listen as Christopher Garnham explains the discovery they made of an enzyme that has the potential to mitigate these toxins in Canadian agri-food and agri-feed.
