In the livestock industry, mycotoxins are an invisible, silent killer. They not only contaminate feed but also cause slow growth in livestock and poultry, weaken their immune systems, and impair reproductive functions, resulting in substantial economic losses for farmers.
In the livestock industry, mycotoxins are an invisible, silent killer. They not only contaminate feed but also cause slow growth in livestock and poultry, weaken their immune systems, and impair reproductive functions, resulting in substantial economic losses for farmers.
Facing this challenge, Mycotoxin removal from feed The agent has emerged as an indispensable guardian of modern animal husbandry.
Invisible Threats: The Dangers of Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds. They lurk silently in feed ingredients, invisible to the naked eye, yet pose a serious threat to the health of livestock and poultry.
When livestock show signs such as slow growth rates, hair loss, reduced daily weight gain, chronic diarrhea, abortions in females, failure to come into heat, stillbirths, or weak offspring, it’s highly likely that mycotoxins are the culprit.
Even more seriously, mycotoxins can impair the immune systems of livestock and poultry, leading to poor vaccine efficacy and even triggering diseases such as dermatitis-nephropathy syndrome.
These toxins not only affect the health and growth of livestock and poultry but also directly reduce farming efficiency, causing substantial economic losses.
Feed mold inhibitors effectively neutralize the threat posed by mycotoxins through a variety of advanced technological approaches. Their primary mechanisms of action include:
Physical adsorption method
Materials such as nano-montmorillonite, which carry a negative charge, possess active sites and have a large porous surface area, giving them an exceptional adsorption capacity for mycotoxins.
Montmorillonite exhibits exceptionally strong adsorption capacity for common feed molds, such as aflatoxin, ergot alkaloids, ochratoxin, zearalenone, and fusarium toxins.
Biochemical method
By adding nutrients that promote glutathione formation to the feed, biochemical transformations occur within the body, indirectly reducing the toxic effects of molds.
Enzymatic Degradation Method
Enzyme preparations can increase the number of beneficial bacteria in livestock and poultry, reduce the habitat for harmful molds, and degrade their toxicity by opening the dioxin ring and breaking down aflatoxins.
Using feed mycotoxin binders can bring multifaceted benefits to the livestock industry:
For livestock and poultry, it can improve feed conversion efficiency, enhance disease resistance, boost the immune response to vaccine injections, and fully unleash the animals' growth potential and disease resistance.
For breeding animals, it can reduce the estrus recurrence rate and increase the conception rate after mating; enhance litter size and birth weight, lower mortality rates, and improve disease resistance in breeding animals.
For feed mills, various modified hydrous aluminosilicates can improve the quality of feed pelletizing, helping to produce higher-quality feed pellets and ensuring smooth production operations.
After feeding with a mycotoxin-degrading agent, the survival rate of livestock and poultry reaches over 98.5%, the mortality rate is significantly reduced, growth rate increases by more than 25%, and feed utilization efficiency improves dramatically.
Latest experiment
Broiler Glucose Oxidase Experiment
One-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were selected, with a total of 4 chicken houses, each housing 11,000 birds. The birds were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 2 chicken houses assigned to each group. The control group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with Changle (allicin and oregano phenol) at 100 mL/ton, while the treatment group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with glucose oxidase at 100 U/L. During the trial period, birds had free access to feed and water. The trial lasted for 42 days. The experimental diet consisted of corn, soybean meal, wheat, cottonseed meal, DDGS, peanut meal, duck fat, and premixes, among other ingredients; nutritional parameters are shown in Table 1.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Experiment
Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Broiler Diarrhea: A Raising Experiment Experimental Site: Jiyang Zheng* Animal Husbandry Farm Experiment Period: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015 Experimental Subjects: 30-day-old broilers Experimental Design: Control Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water Experimental Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water + lactic acid bacteria (liquid)
Piglet Fruit Milk Flavor Experiment
Twenty 28-day-old weaned piglets of the Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbreed, with similar body weights and in good health, were selected for the trial. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups: a control group and a test group. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the test group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 g/t of fruit-milk flavoring. Each group consisted of five replicates, with two piglets per replicate. During the trial period, the pigs had free access to feed and water, and the trial lasted for 28 days.
In this trial, 120 healthy, growing pigs of similar body condition, weighing 80 ± 10 kg, were randomly divided into a control group, an antibiotic group, and an essential oil group. The specific feeding design is shown in Table 1. Each group consisted of 4 replicates, with 10 pigs per replicate. The trial duration was 29 days. The experimental diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements outlined in NRC (2012). During the trial, pigs had free access to feed and water, and were subjected to routine husbandry management and vaccination protocols. Body weights at the beginning and end of the trial, as well as feed intake, were recorded. At the end of the trial, fresh fecal samples were collected from each pig, placed into sterile 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and stored at -80℃.
Tian Yikang replaces chlortetracycline in the ROSS-308 trial.
This experiment employed a single-factor experimental design. A total of 6,000 Ross-308 broiler chickens, aged 1 day and with roughly similar body weights and good health conditions, were randomly selected and divided into three treatment groups, with five replicates per group, each replicate consisting of 400 chickens. The control group was fed a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal. The experimental group 1, the antibiotic group, had 50 g/t of a 15% chlortetracycline premix added to the basal diet. The experimental group 2, the Tianyikang addition group, had 1,500 g/t of Tianyikang added to the basal diet. The entire experiment lasted for 42 days.
