Fumonisin found in Texas corn

causes pulmonary edema ( PPE ) in swine.

The maximum levels of fumonisin in corn that are considered to be safe for use in animal feeds by the Food and Drug Administration Center of Veterinary Medicine are:

    - Horse, other equines, 5 parts per million (ppm)
    - Rabbits, 5 ppm
    - Dairy feeds, 5 ppm
    - Catfish, 20 ppm
    - Swine, 20 ppm
    - Cattle, sheep, goats and other ruminants older than 3 months being fed for slaughter, 60 ppm
    - Poultry (turkey, chickens, ducklings and other poultry fed for slaughter), 100 ppm
    - Ruminants and poultry (includes laying hens, roosters, and bulls), 30 ppm
    - All others (includes dogs and cats), 10 ppm

To distribute and sell whole corn containing greater than 5 ppm fumonisin or 20ppb aflatoxin, the firm must have a Texas feed license and all whole grain must be accompanied with a label approved by the Texas Feed and Fertilizer Control Service. Labeling must list the identity and levels of mycotoxin in a warning statement. Any product containing more than 5 ppm fumonisin cannot be used in dairy feeds or horse feeds, and cannot be used for human foods.
