Technological solution designed for the sequestration and reduction of aflatoxin B1.
Technological solution designed for the sequestration and reduction of aflatoxin B1.
Tests demonstrate that AFLATOX has an adsorption capacity for Aflatoxin B1 greater than 90%.
AFLATOX Optisorb is distinguished by its content of high-purity activated silicates. The product has an immediate effect: it reduces the concentration of Aflatoxin M1 in milk within 24 to 48 hours of being administered to the dairy cows. This translates into lower economic losses linked to undelivered milk and helps safeguard animal welfare.
RAW MATERIALS THAT MAY BE CONTAMINATED BY AFLATOXIN B1
GRAIN MAIZE
MAIZE SILAGE
HIGH-MOISTURE MAIZE (ground grain, whole-ear)
COTTON
EFFECTS ON THE ANIMAL
The effects are numerous and depend on: the level of contamination, the simultaneous presence of other mycotoxins, and the duration of exposure to these toxic substances. Declines in both production and reproduction are observed, together with hepatotoxic effects: the liver comes under stress as it is engaged in converting B1 into M1, which is less harmful to the animal’s system.
