According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 25% of the world’s crops are affected by mycotoxins. Mycotoxins pose a wide range of health risks to animals, from mild discomfort to severe illness. Among these, aflatoxins are probably the most common and harmful mycotoxins. In poultry and ruminants, they impact the immune system, reduce growth performance and feed efficiency.

To mitigate these risks, mycotoxin binders are frequently incorporated into animal feed. Mycotoxin binders function by adsorbing the toxins onto their surface, thereby preventing the harmful compounds from entering the animal’s bloodstream through the intestinal tract.

The use of mycotoxin binders is essential for protecting livestock health and reducing economic losses.
