Abstract: Zearalenone(ZEA) is a mycotoxin with estrogen activity,which is one of the most common mycotoxins in swine production.Zearalenone is widely found in cereal raw materials and compound feeds.Reproductive disorders may occur when sows are fed the feed contaminated by zearalenone,which can seriously affect the production performance and production potential of the sow.This paper reviewed the pollution status of zearalenone in pig feed, reproductive toxicity to sows, and toxic action pathways, which will provide a reference for further research.

Key words: zearalenone, sow, reproductive toxicity
