New adsorbent of mycotoxins in poultry feed - bentonit clay "Askangel"

Recently, in order to mitigate the negative effect of mycotoxins, the number of researches have been conducted to obtain the mycotoxins adsorbent substances. As for the adsorbents, they are substances of a firm or liquid form, on which surface the mycotoxins are absorbed and prevent transition of mycotoxins from the intestines walls in to blood system. The bentonite clay, obtained in western region of Georgia (Guria, Ozurgeti) is characterized with a broad range of ion exchange, enriched, high colloidal, for its wide adsorption characteristics and exchange capacity. According to the mentioned characteristic of locally produced bentonite clay, for the purpose of mycotoxins adsorption the various portions (1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%) of "Askangel" in a ready combined food was tested on broiler birds ¿Cross-308¿. Based on the obtained results of preliminary and primary experiments on poultry (broiler) we can conclude that the application of "Askangel", locally produced bentonite clay of aluminosilicate origin, for the detoxification of mykotoxins in broiler combined feed showed high efficiency.
