Horses are herbivorous species and a major part of their diet consists of grass or its preserved forms such as hay, haylage and silage. In addition, different types of grains and cereals are given either directly as a mixed grain feed or are processed into pellets. Traditionally, straw is used as bedding is a horse stable. These basic feed components are substrates for moulds (fungi imperfecti) and other microorganisms such as yeasts and bacteria Buckley et al., 2007). Moulds invade these feed and bedding materials, either at the pre- or post-harvest stage. In the living plant, prior to harvest, in particularly Fusarium species are responsible for considerable plant damage and impairment of grain quality. Already in that stage they produce various mycotoxins, small molecules that are synthetized in the secondary metabolism of fungal species, resulting in an invisible toxin contamination of harvested materials. At the post-harvest stage, fungal species such as Penicillium and Aspergillus cause food and feed spoilage and affect the nutritional value of feed materials [...]
