Toxin Binder Premix
Toxin Binder Premix is a specialized feed additive formulated to adsorb and neutralize a broad range of mycotoxins and other harmful toxins present in animal feed. It enhances animal health by preventing the absorption of toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving feed efficiency and productivity. The premix typically contains activated clays, yeast cell wall components, and other natural or synthetic adsorbents designed for use in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feeds. This product supports animal growth, immune function, and overall well-being by mitigating the adverse effects of feed contamination.
Primary Uses
Animal Feed Industry
Mycotoxin Adsorbent: Binds aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, zearalenone, and other mycotoxins in feed to reduce toxicity.
Feed Additive: Incorporated into livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feeds to protect animals from toxin-related health issues.
Growth Promoter: Enhances nutrient utilization and weight gain by reducing toxin-related feed intake depression.
Immune Support: Helps maintain immune system integrity by lowering toxin-induced immunosuppression.
Secondary Uses
Pet Food Industry
Used in pet food formulations to safeguard pets from toxin exposure in raw ingredients.
Agricultural By-products
Applied in the treatment of agricultural residues and by-products to reduce toxin contamination before use as feed.
Storage and Transport
Used as a preventative measure during feed storage and transportation to limit toxin development.
