Zeolite is used as a micotoxin binder in animals:

[Guest guest]

Myco-Toxin binder. Zeolite has EU approval for use in the swine and

poultry industry. Though not currently approved in North America for

mycotoxin binding, zeolite is the standard for a mycotoxin binder in

many countries and also Europe by absorbing a broad spectrum of

toxins. It also helps control aflatoxins in animal feed which lowers

mortality rates from digestive stress and reduces the need for

antibiotics and medicines. In Europe antibiotics are not used when

using zeolite in feed

After years of successful field testing many feed suppliers and end-

users have included a zeolite feed additive (of only ½% to 5%) in

their feed supply program. There is an overall improvement in growth

and health of these animals as a result of zeolite in their diets

that translates to better profits.

This, like chitosan, can be bought at health food stores. It is a

mineral rather than from shellfish. Chitosan can be made from

insects, but I did not find any.

I wonder what CSM, which is used in livestock as well for these same

reasons, is made from.
