How to choose mycotoxin adsorbent for dairy cow feed

Healthy, high-quality milk: can only be derived from healthy dairy cows in well-managed large-scale dairy farms.

The average concentration of aflatoxin M1 secreted into milk is 1.7% of the concentration of aflatoxin B1 in the diet, so the higher the mycotoxin content, the more damaged mammary cells. In addition to the high number of somatic cells, the incidence of mastitis is also high.

Aflatoxin can cause damage to the liver, inhibit immune function, increase mastitis, decrease milk production, and decrease milk quality; while zearalenone toxins can reduce the fertility rate of cows; The symptoms are caused by a decrease in the feed intake of the cows and a decrease in the amount of lactation.

Controlling mycotoxins is the key to successful cattle raising!

How to choose mycotoxin adsorbent for cattle feed?

An excellent bacterial toxin adsorbent should have the following conditions:

(1) Detailed experimental data (laboratory in-vitro and animal in-vivo confirmed its superior adsorption capacity;

(2) It has a wide-ranging function to adsorb various mycotoxins;

(3) Can excrete mycotoxins from the body rather than staying in the body.

There are three main types of mycotoxin adsorbents commonly used today: montmorillonite, enzyme preparations and yeast cell walls. Although these three mycotoxin adsorbents have their own advantages and disadvantages, montmorillonite has a strong adsorption of aflatoxin and a wide range. It is the most cost-effective of these three types of adsorbents because it functions as a non-toxic nutrient.

In addition, the selection of mycotoxin adsorbents should be considered from the following aspects: convenience, feasibility; cost; broad spectrum; selectivity (whether to absorb nutrients); no harmful substances; tolerance to feed processing, storage; benefit.
