CAB ABSTRACTS HOT TOPIC:
Mycotoxins in animal feed 25% of the world’s crops are contaminated with mycotoxins. Feed can become contaminated in the field, during harvesting, processing and storage. Ingestion of contaminated feed has adverse effects on the performance and health of farmed species. CAB Abstracts database covers the biology and chemistry of all classes of mycotoxins, detection methods, effects of mycotoxicoses, and control and detoxification methods. Access to such research will provide insights into the elimination and detoxification of mycotoxins present in feed.
CAB Abstracts comprehensively covers hot topics that matter CAB Abstracts sources the world literature to provide the complete picture on the prevalence, toxicity and management of mycotoxins in feed, including information on: • Occurrence of mycotoxins: the global trade in raw feed ingredients and finished feeds can lead to mycotoxin distribution across the world; surveying mycotoxin occurrence is important for assessing the risk of using feeds from different regions. Occurrence of mycotoxins in commercial aquafeeds in Asia and Europe: a real risk to aquaculture? Reviews in Aquaculture, 2016 • Effects of mycotoxins on performance and health of farmed species: such as reduced feed intake, decreased disease resistance due to immunosuppression, impaired metabolism. Impact of mycotoxins on aquaculture fish species: a review. Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2016 Prevalence and effects of mycotoxins on poultry health and performance, and recent development in mycotoxin counteracting strategies.

• Mycotoxin counteracting strategies: reduce bioavailability and uptake from contaminated feed by including mycotoxin adsorbing agents; use of biotransforming agents such as bacteria/fungi or enzymes to degrade mycotoxins into nontoxic metabolites.

23 Regional Collaboration in Community-based Mountain Tourism in World Heritage Sites: The Ifugao Rice Terraces of the Cordillera Central Mountains in the Philippines 1

Introduction This chapter examines the role of tourism development on the conservation of world heritage sites, focusing on the Ifugao Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras. These terraces, bounded by rugged peaks, are located within the Cordillera Central Mountains on the northern part of the island of Luzon, in the northernmost region of the Philippines archipelago (see Fig. 23.1). The interrelationship between tourism development and world heritage site conservation are explored by analysing the tourism programme of the Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement (SITMo), which was intended to help conserve the Ifugao world heritage sites. This case study includes a description of a locally developed method in addressing long-term conservation and community development issues within a world heritage cultural site. The case acknowledges, in the context of its broader plan, the background and approach in developing locally based tourism within the region (Drost, 1995; Borges et al., 2011; Ananayo, 2014). This includes the SITMo Eco-Cultural
Tourism Program. An important aspect of this programme has involved substantial collaboration, communication and engagement of key groups in the development, operation and management of the tours and their resulting outcomes. There were a few weaknesses in the development process and implementation; however, outcomes were generally constructive. These outcomes are described in this case study, including economic outcomes and contributions, environmental outcomes and contributions, and contribution to cultural conservation. This case first examines SITMo’s tourism activities, in order to provide an understanding of the development approach. After reviewing the tourism activities and providing a brief description of the SITMo model, SITMo’s approach to community-based tourism and how it is translated into actual operations is examined, by looking into the stakeholder cooperative that was implemented to advance the tourism programme. The findings indicate that the current, as well as the envisioned, stakeholder cooperative is largely similar to stakeholder cooperation advocated for sustainable tourism
