- The specially selected and activated binding agents are heat resistant, pressure-insensitive, and stable over storage time.
- They reduce the absorption of mycotoxins in the gastrointestinal tract and their distribution to the blood and target organs by forming complexes that are subsequently excreted by the animal.
Bentonite, yeast products, vegetal carbon and sepiolite.
Binding efficiency is assessed through adsorption at an acidic pH, comparable to stomach conditions, and the transition to a neutral pH comparable to the gastrointestinal tract.
Figure 1: In vitro binding efficiency of AFB1 (6 ppb), EA (300 ppb), ZEA (150 ppb), T-2 (150
ppb), OTA (30 ppb), and FB1 (1,500 ppb) of B.I.O.Tox® at an inclusion level of 1.0 kg/t.
- B.I.O.Tox® has the capacity to efficiently bind various mycotoxins.
- The adsorption of multiple toxins is an essential feature as there is almost never just one mycotoxin present in the feed.
