Besides it, induce hyperestrogenism, which presents with recurrence of estrus, and therefore reducing the conception rate. In the period September 2007 to April 2008, 14 heifers fed with barley a long time, showing clinical similar to that produced by zearalenone, these were found 9 heifers with follicular cysts with a size between 18.5 mm and 26 mm. Wander laboratory tests, the presence of zearalenone in barley was detected, demonstrating that Fusarium contamination affects reproduction and cause economic losses.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine}, author={Trés, José Eugênio and Pereira, Rita de Cassia Gomes and Oliveira, Jhonnathan Paulo and Direito, Glória Maria and de Jesus, Vera Lucia Teixeira and Jacob, Júlio Cesar Ferraz}, year={2011}, month={Mar.}, pages={48–50} }
