Animal Feed Additives For Binding Toxins
Animal feed and feed ingredients getting exposed to moulds is very common. When mould or fungus grows on feed or feed ingredients, they release certain metabolites called mycotoxins that have a harmful impact on the health and performance of the animal. The disease caused by mycotoxins is known as mycotoxicosis. It affects the central nervous system, liver & kidney, estrogenic responses, etc. Since fungi growth is typical in crops grown in hot and humid conditions, animal feed contaminated with mycotoxins is a common occurrence. However, animal feed additives like toxin binders help in keeping the feed safe for consumption.
Purpose of Using Toxin Binders As Animal
Feed Additives
The primary purpose
of a toxin binder is to protect livestock and poultry from the effects of
mycotoxins, and it is one of the main animal feed
supplements that is included in feeds. Avsorb Forte, a toxin binder from
a renowned animal feed supplement manufacturer,
Avitech Nutrition, provides the following benefits for livestock and poultry with
its product:
- This animal supplement is effective against several classes of
mycotoxins—for example, Zearalenone, T-2, DON1, Alfatoxin, etc.
- Besides protecting the
animals from mycotoxins, Avsorb Forte helps eradicate other harmful
residues found in animal feeds such as chemicals, and pesticides used on
agricultural produce.
- It also works against
bacterial endotoxins.
- This animal feed supplement does not interfere with the
nutrition in feeds. The
vitamin and mineral in the feed stays intact for animal nutrition.
Role Of Activated
Carbon In Controlling Mycotoxins
During experiments on
mycotoxins, activated carbon was found to be showing the highest binding
capacity. Activated carbon, as a toxin binder, has a broad spectrum of activity against
mycotoxins like Zearalenone, T-2, DON, Aflatoxins etc.
Role Of Activated
Carbon In Controlling Chemical Toxins
Activated carbon is
an excellent adsorbent of chemicals and toxins because of its high
mesoporosity. It is equally good at absorbing chemicals and toxins of any sort
present in the feed and/or intestinal tract. Hence, Avsorb Forte with its activated
carbon content serves as a complete toxin
binder.
The Recommended
Inclusion of Avsorb Forte, a Toxin Binder, In Feed
Avitech Nutrition, a
renowned animal feed supplement manufacturer,
recommends the following toxin binder inclusion in the feeds:s
- For Poultry: 1 Kg/MT of the
complete feed
- For Dairy Cattle: 1 Kg/MT of
the complete feed
- For Aqua: 1 Kg/MT of the
complete feed
- For Swine/Pigs: 1 Kg/MT of
the complete feed
