DSM portfolio of feed additives represents the most state-of-the-art solution for protecting animal health by deactivating the mycotoxins that contaminate farm animal feed, either in the animal or in the feed itself. The safety and efficacy of DSM products are proven by seven EU authorizations for substances that deactivate mycotoxins. If not properly deactivated, mycotoxin contamination in animal feed has the potential to reduce fertility, reduce performance, contribute to vaccine failure, impair gut health, suppress the immune system, damage kidney and liver health.
Feed mycotoxin deactivators can be devided according to the used method - adsorption or biotransformation.
Adsorption - Mineral adsorbents selectively bind adsorbable mycotoxins such as aflatoxins. Mycofix® contains EU authorized bentonite which binds more than 90% of aflatoxins, meeting the strict requirements set by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL). According to diversity of studies, binders have best application for deactivation of aflatoxin and ergot alkaloids.
Biotransformation - A unique combination of patented targeted enzymes and biological components converts mycotoxins into non-toxic, environmentally-safe metabolites.
