European fact sheets on micotoxins in livestock

[Guest guest]

Fletch,

That is interesting.

Europeon Applications to combat ill health from digested myctoxins. It

mentions Cholestyramine, which is what many mold victims are responding well

to.

Sharon

" The utilization of mycotoxin-binding adsorbents is the most applied

physical method of protecting animals against the harmful effects of mycotoxin

contaminated feed. Addition in the diet of nutritionally inert adsorbents

(hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicates, activated carbon, bentonite, clays

and

special polymers) reduces the absorption of mycotoxins from the

gastrointestinal

tract thus avoiding or reducing the toxic effects for livestock and the

carryover of mycotoxins into animal products. The efficiency of the adsorption

depends on the chemical structure of both the adsorbent and the mycotoxin.

Before applying this technique for routine use it is essential to establish

that

the absorbent does not remove essential nutrients from the diet.This fact

sheet briefly describes the most important types of adsorbents and their

effectiveness when added to animal feed. "
