Vomitoxin is a type B trichothecene, an epoxy-sesquiterpeneoid. Vomitoxin occurs predominantly in grains such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and maize, and less often in rice, sorghum, and triticale.

Poison by ingestion, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.

Human:  1 ppm  restriction of vomitoxin.
Companion animals: 5 ppm  restriction of vomitoxin.The grains is not exceed 40% of the diet.
Livestock and farm animals: 10 ppm  restriction of vomitoxin.Ingredients may not exceed 50% of the diet.
Dairy cow :2 ppm  restriction of vomitoxin

vomitoxin appears to occur through the central nervous system. Vomitoxin is strong protein inhibitors. vomitoxin causes the brain to increase its uptake of the amino acid tryptophan and, in turn, its synthesis of serotonin. Increased levels of serotonin are believed to be responsible for the anorexic effects of DON and other tricothecenes. Irritation of the gastrointestinal tract may also play a role in reducing feed intake... This fact may also partially explain the high incidence of pars esaughageal stomach ulcers observed in sows off feed during feed refusal.
