What is Metabolites of Monascus ruber in silages about?

A total of 233 silages were examined and found that __Monascus ruber__ was present in 43 samples with counts between 1 × 10^3^ and 9 × 10^6^ colony‐forming units (CFU)/g (mean: 2 × 10^5^ CFU/g). Monacolin K~L~ and the hydroxy acid monacolin K~A~ were detected by liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry in 45 and 50 of 233 samples at levels ranging from 25–15 600 and 28–65 400 __μ__g/kg, respectively. Citrinin was found with high‐performance liquid chromatography‐fluorescence detection (FLD) in 14 (6%) samples, the concentrations varied between 2.4 and 64.2 __μ__g/kg. The concentrations of citrinin were low and toxic effects are not anticipated. Monacolin K~A~ and monacolin K~L~ occur frequently and in considerable amounts in silages. These metabolites are believed to influence the metabolic activity of rumen anaerobic fungi resulting in a poorer digestion of crude fibre.
