α-Zearalenol is a mycotoxin produced by certain fungi, primarily found in contaminated grains and feeds. This estrogenic compound is a metabolite of zearalenone and is known for its potent endocrine-disrupting properties. It can interfere with reproductive hormone functions in animals, leading to various health issues, including reproductive disorders and reduced fertility. Due to its significant impact on livestock, α-Zearalenol is a subject of concern in food safety and agricultural practices, prompting ongoing research into its effects and mitigation strategies.
