Abstract

One of the problems of animal husbandry is the sufficiency and biosafety of the feed base, as well as the high price level of feed concentrates, specially prepared and the most physiologically acceptable products, mainly of plant and animal origin, containing in an accessible form the nutrients necessary for the animal, which do not have a harmful effect on the health of animals and the quality of the products obtained from them. The consequences of global warming determine a set of unfavorable factors for agricultural crops, reducing yields against the back-ground of drought and extreme rains, the sufficiency of food raw materials for food and forage purposes, and the biosafety of feed. One of the most important risks caused by climate change, es-pecially significant for grain crops, has become mycotoxin contamination. These producers are secondary metabolites of mycelial microflora, exhibiting a toxic effect on humans and animals. In connection with the above problem, the search for and development of innovative technological solutions for disinfection is relevant, which is possible with a detailed in-depth study of mycotoxins using quantum chemical calculations. The aim of this study was to investigate the geometric parameters, stability, and reactivity of molecules of two mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN), which determine the risks of reducing the quality and safety of feed raw materials for lactating animals, and their impact on the raw material suitability indicators of the produced dairy raw materials. In the course of quantum chemical calculations, a data array was formed that will be useful for further study of the interaction of mycotoxins with wheat grain proteins, which opens up new opportunities for studying mycotoxins and their properties in agri-cultural crops in order to minimize possible risks in trophic chains.
