Information relating to forage crops as a potential source of mycotoxins is discussed in this review with 163 references. Ruminant diets contain a high proportion of forage crops such as grass or maize silage, hay and straw. The mould flora of these crops is likely to differ significantly from that of cereals and mycotoxin contamination could differ qualitatively and quantitatively. Some field incidents and animal disease which may be mycotoxin related are discussed and analytical methods are considered.
