Smples of oats used for feed production were collected randomly after the 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992 crops, respectively, from farms located in an area of southwest Germany and assayed for mycotoxins. DON was the major toxin with incidences at 49 – 85% and mean levels in positive samples of 52 – 302 mg/kg. Incidences of ZEA, 3 – acetylDON, nivalenol, HT – 2 toxin and T-2 toxin were at 20 – 37, 0 – 30, 18 – 67, 0 – 29 and 27 – 61%, respectively, with mean levels in positive samples at 8 – 25, 5 – 63, 11 –192, 205 – 296 and 20 – 244 mg/kg. Respectively. Alpha and beta – zearalenol. Diacetoxyscirpenol and fusarenon X were not detected in any sample. 15 – acetyl DON was assayed in samples from 1987, 1991 and 1992 and was deteced in 9, 4 and 0% of samples, with an average of 9 and 18 mg/kg, respectively. The incidence and levels of toxins varied from year to year and the correlation between the occurrence of toxins and precipitation is discussed.
