The aim of this study was to assess whether chop length and silage additives affect mycotoxin contamination in maize silage. Maize harvested at the milk wax stage was ensiled with urea, a lactic acid bacteria inoculant, or their combination, particle size was evaluated using the Penn State Particle Separator, and six mycotoxins were quantified by HPLC-MS/MS (88% dry matter basis). Deoxynivalenol and fumonisins were the predominant mycotoxins, HT-2 toxin occurred only in the untreated control, and urea alone or with inoculant reduced deoxynivalenol and prevented HT-2 toxin while chop length had no statistically significant effect on mycotoxin contamination.
