Abstrakt: Nivalenol has been analysed in Swedish cereals between 1987 and 1990 and it was found in oats (35% of all samples), barley (13%) and wheat (4%), with a high yearly variation. The highest concentration was 4700 μg/kg. Nivalenol-producing strains of Fusarium poae were isolated from contaminated samples. Feeding nivalenol to chicks produced no toxic effects at concentrations below 5 mg/kg and only small effects at 6 and 12 mg/kg.
