Zearalenone is formed by fungi of the genus fusarium and mainly affects corn, wheat, sorghum, barley and rye. Zearalenone is a phytohormone which displays, apart from its anabolic properties, mainly estrogenic effects. Because of its estrogenic properties, zearalenone may induce fertility disorders in animals with clinical signs of hyperestrogenism – an aspect of a disease which although reported mainly in hogs, is described in other species such as cow, horse and sheep.

Intended Use

The kit is a one-step lateral flow immunochromatographic assay that determines a quantitative level for the presence of zearalenone and is intended for use in grains, feed materials and feed products. This method is suitable for the rapid on-site test.
