Mycotoxins in poultry can have detrimental effects on their health and performance. These toxic substances, produced by molds, can contaminate feed ingredients and lead to various issues such as decreased feed intake, impaired nutrient absorption, and compromised immune function. Effective management strategies, including mycotoxin testing, proper storage, and the use of mycotoxin binders, are crucial to mitigate the negative impact of mycotoxins on poultry health.
Ingredients of AQUAL PR. A combination of nutrients and specific ingredients such as Salix alba extract and Vitamin E carried on a very specific emulsifier that also functions as a performance aid with high bioavailability.
Ingredients of Nufeed. – Blue Pacific Minerals HASCAS Clays produced from quality Hydrated Ca-K-Na Aluminosilicates / mordenite and clinoptilolite HASCAS Clays.
Mode of action of Nufeed. (Active at all parts of GIT).
1 ) Binding. -Zeolite(honeycomb structure) Carries a net negative charge attracts positively charged ions. So binds the mycotoxins in contaminated feed without dissociating in the Gut of birds forming toxin-adsorbing complex. 2 ) Decrease bioavailability. -This linkage is strong and will resist variations of temperature and pH in the gut. Decrease mycotoxins bioavailability which leads to a reduction of mycotoxin uptake as well as distribution to the blood and target organs. 3 ) Excretion. -Toxin-adsorbing complex passes through the poultry and is eliminated unchanged via the feces.
Benefits Of Nufeed (Based Clinoptilolite Zeolite) a zeolite amendment in poultry feed also has: 1 ) Increased solubility of phosphate in birds. – The zeolite exchanges the calcium from Dicalcium phosphate and makes the phosphate more soluble and better utilized for bones. – The dicalcium phosphate in the feed may be reduced by 50% after testing. 2 ) Increased number of gradable eggs, shell thickness, and egg production. 3 ) Reduced footpad burns from phosphorus. 4 ) Lowered mortality. 5 ) Increased nitrogen content of manure and compost. – Zeolite fixes the nitrogen in the manure and compost so that it is plant accessible but not water-soluble.
Dose of Nufeed. – Low inclusion level. – 0.5 : 1 kg per ton of feed.
