72: Heat Stress in Dairy Cows Isn’t Just the Problem. It’s the Multiplier

69: Cow Reproduction Is Improving… So Why Aren’t Heifers?
Dairy cow reproduction has improved significantly over the past decade, but virgin heifer reproduction has remained relatively flat. Why? In this episode of Ruminate This, Scott Zehr explores whether mycotoxins in virgin heifer TMRs could be quietly influencing heifer conception rates and dairy fertility.

68: Why Multiple Mycotoxins in the TMR Increase Dairy Herd Risk
Multiple mycotoxins in the TMR do not just add up. They multiply damage in dairy cows. In this episode of Ruminate This, Scott Zehr and Vice President of Nutrition Dr. Larry Roth connect their previous episode discussions and explain why multiple mycotoxins in the TMR create a multiplying negative effect in dairy cows rather than a simple additive one. They discuss how common toxins such as DON, fumonisin, T-2/HT-2, and zearalenone each remove a critical layer of biological protection. Even w...

67: T-2 Exposure and Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome in Dairy
T-2 mycotoxin, often called the assassin toxin, is one of the most aggressive and overlooked feed risks in dairy production. In this episode of Ruminate This, Dr. Larry Roth explains how T-2 disrupts protein synthesis, damages the rumen and intestines, and creates serious health challenges at levels as low as 75 ppb. They connect T-2 exposure to Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS), gut integrity breakdown, and increased risk from Clostridium perfringens. The discussion also covers feed risks, in...

66: Inconsistent Herd Performance? Take A Closer Look at Fumonisin
Fumonisin is one of the most overlooked mycotoxins in dairy production, and its impact goes beyond immune suppression. In this episode, Dr. Larry Roth explains how fumonisin disrupts cell-to-cell communication in the gut (often called quorum sensing), which plays a critical role in gut integrity, immune function, liver health, and respiratory resilience. Learn why this mycotoxin is increasingly more common, why many binders fall short, and how targeted testing and smarter mitigation can help ...
