SKIOLD | Removal of mycotoxins in seed and grain

Reduce mycotoxin level by up to 90%

Get the best results by cleaning and sorting your crops and grain with SKIOLD SIgma Grain Cleaning Machine

It is extremely important to reduce mycotoxin levels in grain and crops as mycotoxins attack and destroy grain and feed. Many livestock herds experience problems stemming from contaminated grain. Some experience increased mortality and high medication use. Adding a toxin binder or formic acid can reduce the problems, but rarely eliminate them completely.

 

Improved results with SKIOLD Sigma

A Danish pig farmer, Mr Klaus Noe, states that the SKIOLD Damas Sigma is the best investment he has made. He even states that the mycotoxin binders do not have the same positive effect as the SKIOLD Damas Sigma.

Prior to purchasing the SKIOLD Damas Sigma, his pigs experienced problems with deferred rectum, sudden onset anorexia and other nonspecific diseases, which he attributed to the quality of the feed. With a SKIOLD Damas Sigma, he no longer has these issues or costs for toxin binders.

Another danish farmer, Mads Rauff, tells about how to optimize grain cleaning and improve animal health by using a SKIOLD Sigma cleaner here.

In Asia, the problem of moisture and mold is huge,

The same great results with SKIOLD Sigma have been achieved in this part of the world. A large pig producer with three full line pig farms and a total of 14,000 sows and 35,000 finishers produces its own feed. In all farms, they clean the grain with a SKIOLD Sigma due to the high content of mycotoxins, which negatively affects feed quality, pig health and profitability.

Previously, they used mycotoxin binders, but after investing in a SKIOLD Sigma, the content of mycotoxins is reduced to a very low level and today the need for binders is very limited. Before using ½ kg of toxin binders per tons of feed, so economically, the investment in the SKIOLD Sigma has been an advantageous decision.

What is the danger of mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins can lead to various adverse health effects and represent a significant risk to both humans and livestock. Preventing mycotoxins in crops and feed is crucial, as they negatively impact production outcomes. This includes a.o. reduced performance, lower feed intake, poor feed conversion, diminished weight gain, and decreased reproductive capabilities.

Today, livestock producers often use mycotoxin binders to reduce the toxic effects of mycotoxins. This is an effective tool for controlling mold and mycotoxin problems, but it is expensive and not always a sufficient solution.

The SKIOLD Sigma has a unique and one-of-a-kind polishing effect, which has proven to reduce the presence of germs, fungi and bacteria by up to 90%

The SKIOLD Sigma is an innovative cleaning and grading machine designed to enhance grain and feed quality by removing up to 90% of mycotoxins, thereby promoting better animal health. As the crops are cleaned centrifugally by being forced against the rotating screens, each individual grain, corn, rice or seed is polished and cleaned across its entire surface area. This process not only polishes but also significantly reduces the presence of germs, fungi, and bacteria on the entire surface of each seed—achievements scientifically validated by IFF in Germany.
