Mycotoxin Deactivators

Mycotoxin Deactivators that Support Animal Health and Performance

Our portfolio of feed additives represents the most state-of-the-art solution for protecting animal health by deactivating the mycotoxins that contaminate farm animal feed, either in the animal or in the feed itself. The safety and efficacy of our products are proven by 7 EU authorizations for substances that deactivate mycotoxins.

How Do Mycotoxins Affect My Animals?

If not properly deactivated, mycotoxin contamination in animal feed has the potential to:

  • Reduce fertility
  • Reduce performance
  • Contribute to vaccine failure
  • Impair gut health
  • Suppress the immune system
  • Damage kidney and liver health

Adsorption

Mineral adsorbents selectively bind adsorbable mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and ergot alkaloids as well as endotoxins.

Mycofix® contains EU authorized bentonite which binds more than 90% of aflatoxins, meeting the strict requirements set by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL).

According to diversity of studies, except from Aflatoxin and Ergot Alkaloids,  mycotoxins are not well adsorbed by binders. Therefore, the non-adsorbable mycotoxins need a specific biotransformation strategy to be counteracted:

Biotransformation

A unique combination of patented targeted enzymes and biological components converts mycotoxins into non-toxic, environmentally-safe metabolites.

ZENzyme®

ZENzyme® is the first and only purified enzyme that degrades zearalenone fast, specifically and irreversibly into non-toxic and non-estrogenic metabolites.

FUMzyme

FUMzyme®  is a purified enzyme that is unique and specific for the biotransformation of all fumonisins!

Hydrolysis: FUM -> HFUM + TCA*

Biomin® BBSH® 797

Biomin® BBSH® 797 is a live organism that produces de-epoxidases which open the toxic epoxide ring of trichothecenes (e.g. DON)

Biomin® MTV

Biomin® MTV is a non-pathogenic yeast Trichosporon mycotoxinivorans. The specific enzymes produced by Biomin® MTV detoxify OTA in the intestinal tract of the animals. The resulting product is no longer harmful to the animal

Bioprotection

The Biomin® Bioprotection Mix is an innovative mix of natural ingredients that protects against a weakened immune system and lower performance caused by endotoxins and (emerging) mycotoxins. It provides immune and liver support, strengthens the intestinal barrier and tight junctions in the presence of mycotoxins.
