Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, is a type of mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species of fungi, commonly found in contaminated grains such as wheat, corn, and barley. It poses significant health risks to both humans and animals, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and immune suppression when ingested. In livestock, exposure to Deoxynivalenol can result in reduced feed intake and growth performance. Due to its toxic nature, DON is closely monitored in food and feed products, with strict regulations in place to limit its levels and ensure safety.
