Fusarium head blight (FHB) infects triticale, a cross between wheat and rye,<br />

similarly like the two parental cereals causing yield reduction and contamination<br />

with deoxynivalenol (DON). Triticale is grown in the European Union with 3.4<br />

million hectares (ha), in Germany and France with each <strong>of</strong> 400,000 ha, in Poland<br />

with 1.3 million ha and mainly used for feeding <strong>of</strong> livestock. DON content in the<br />

grain is a great obstacle because swine are the most sensitive animals; EU<br />

guidelines for DON are
