Abstract
A method for rapidly determining mold growth on feed is disclosed. The method comprises placing a sample of feed containing mold spores in a closed container; maintaining an environment that will support rapid mold growth; measuring the change in concentration of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide; and correlating the concentration change with the rate of mold growth.
