What veterinarians found in the samples
The laboratory examined samples of Ukrainian cereal crops and corn used as animal feed. The samples were taken from five different batches of products.

The easiest of them is high humidity, but there are also much more serious problems: mold, mineral contamination, rot infestations. All this created a favorable environment for the development of larvae of pests.
