Samples of wheat and maize for animal consumption, collected in 1997 after harvest from western Romania, were analysed for mycotoxin contamination. DON and acetylDONs were the major contaminants and were detected in 100% of wheat samples and 46% of maize samples. Median values for DON, 3-acetylDON and 15-acetylDON in wheat were 880, 66 and 150 mg/kg, respectively, and in maize 890, 180 and 620 mg/kg, respectively. Additionally, 3, 19-diacetylDON, T-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, ZEA, FB1, ochratoxin A and citrinin were found in some samples. No samples contained aflatoxin B1 or fusarenone X. This is the first reported natural occurrence of a range of mycotoxins in Romanian feeding stuff and shows that DON and acetylDONs may be present at levels which may affect animal production.
