Description
Kintl and co-authors test how mold toxins in maize silage affect biogas output. Toxins such as DON, zearalenone, fumonisin, and aflatoxin can enter biogas plants with farm feedstock. The team sampled silage at low, medium, and heavy mold levels from one store.
Biogas output fell sharply as mold levels rose. Poor silage handling during digestion was the main cause, tied to shifts in sugars and acids. Output of biogas and methane also dropped as fiber and lignin rose. The team tracked the same toxins in the leftover digestate after digestion to see what carried through.
