Brazil has a climate that favors the development of fungi, however it is known that these cause changes in grain quality affecting animal production and consequently swine farming. Strategies are needed such as planting preventions, as well as strategic decision-making to minimize the problems caused by mycotoxins in feed production. Mycotoxins are toxic substances resulting from the metabolism of various fungi found in the environment. In addition to impairing the immunity of pigs at different ages, they facilitate the emergence of diseases and consequently reduce the weight gain of the animals, especially the piglets causing an increase in mortality in the maternity or nursery. This bibliographic review aimed to compile information on recent inclusions of mycotoxin adsorbents efficiently used in piglet diets without compromising on meat quality and zoo-technical parameters.

Palabras clave : antimycotoxins; carcass; performance; swine.
