Animal Feed Additives Toxin Binder

TThe contamination of feed with mycotoxins is a continuingfeed quality and safety issue. Effects can range from reproduction and organdamage (liver/kidney) to a greater vulnerability to infectious diseases inanimals. To protect these animals from these adverse effects, mycotoxinadsorbents and detoxifiers are used in animal feeds to sequester mycotoxins andprevent ingestion.

Bentoniteis used as toxin binder in animal feeds. It has the ability to absorb andadsorb toxins.

Itis used in animal nutrition along with other micro nutrient in Poultry andCattle feed to adsorb and absorb mycotoxins and reduce mycotoxinbioavailability from contaminated feeds in the animal’s gut.

Ithas been approved as a substance for reduction of the contamination of feeds bymycotoxins (aflatoxin B1) for pigs, poultry and ruminants according to EUregulation in the EU register for feed additives by European Food SafetyAuthority.
