T5X: A comprehensive approach to mycotoxin risk management

Despite their invisibility, mycotoxins compromise the daily reality of animal production. They drive performance variability, challenge the resilience of animals, and add complexity to both nutritional decision-making and raw material quality management.

This global challenge has driven the evolution of the mycotoxin control market, yet the industry increasingly recognizes that traditional approaches are no longer sufficient. The complexity of multi contamination, the diversity of production systems, and the rising expectations around feed safety demand a holistic, and science-driven approach.

Mycotoxins do not only affect animals through feed. They can also be passed on from the mother to her offspring during pregnancy. As a result, mycotoxins have been detected in newborn animals before they consume any feed or milk. This may affect early development, immunity, and long-term productivity.

It is within this context that ADM developed the T5X portfolio — not as a single solution, but as a structured, comprehensive approach designed to bring clarity to an invisible problem. T5X was built on a simple but powerful idea: if mycotoxins cannot be seen, they must be measured, understood, and managed through reliable tools.

T5X is a range of products and the result of 20+ years of development to support animal production, by combining ingredients that bind mycotoxins, support detoxification and encouraging immune resilience.

The T5X portfolio offers the following products:

• ✅ T5X Binding is focused on aflatoxin control; this solution utilizes a highly efficient clay that has been validated through both in vitro and in vivo studies. Because not all clays perform equally, selecting the right one is critical. Our carefully selected high-performance clay delivers optimal aflatoxin binding efficiency (>90%), providing reliable protection under practical conditions.
• ✅ T5X SD is designed to manage the risks associated with multi-mycotoxin contamination, by supporting detoxification, and encourage immune resilience.
• ✅ T5X Premium has been specifically developed for high-risk (multi)-contamination scenarios and for animals that are particularly vulnerable to mycotoxin, such as young and reproductive animals.

What distinguishes T5X is not only its formulation; it is the expertise behind it. Among our various activities, we also operate as a premix and complete feed producer: we work with a massive variety of raw materials every single day, so we know exactly how ingredients behave, where risks tend to appear and how contamination patterns evolve in real life.

That in house knowledge is an important part of why our approach to mycotoxin management is so pragmatic. We have learned that you cannot rely on additives alone. Mycotoxin control is not something you ‘fix’ with a single product; it starts with good sampling, continues with proper analysis and interpretation, and only works long-term when you keep monitoring consistently.

That is why T5X works in synergy with the SINCRO ecosystem. SINCRO is a suite of smart solutions and services designed to support farmers and feed professionals with nutritional insight, optimized feed formulation and continuous monitoring and adjustment.

ADM’s SINCRO Services portfolio optimizes feed production and animal performance.

Related to mycotoxins management, SINCRO brings together diagnostic tools, technical support, training, and data-driven insights, so producers do not just react to contamination; they stay ahead of it.

The whole idea is to give you clarity: what the real risk is, what it means for your animals, and what level of protection actually fits the situation. Not over insuring, not underinsuring, just the right response at the right moment.

The combination of SINCRO services together with T5X products represents a comprehensive mycotoxin risk management solution. It helps detect issues early, understand their impact, and apply the right mitigation strategy to protect performance.

Of course, having analysis results is only the first step. To make those results useful, we developed the MycoControl app.

The app interprets your contamination levels, shows the risk level (from low to critical) for each species, and then advises which T5X product fits the situation, including the exact dose.

It is a simple, reliable tool that turns lab results into clear, practical decisions and helps you monitor mycotoxins in a structured way.

ADM’s approach to mycotoxin management is global but always starts with understanding your specific field challenges and customers’ needs. From there, we build a solution that fits, supported by our in-house expertise, our diagnostic tools, and the T5X portfolio.
