maximum limits for these aflatoxins in feed and milk. An aflatoxin binder such as Novasil Plus can greatly reduce the


absorption of aflatoxin B1. Novasil Plus is an indigestible calcium bentonite clay that has excellent binding properties. Compared to other types of aflatoxin binder, the binding activity of Novasil Plus is very reliable and independent of the pH value in the digestive tract, with the added advantage that it does not bind valuable nutrients, thus preserving the nutritional value of the feed.

The powerful antimicrobial effects of VevoVitall®


can


help to improve feed quality leading to improved intakes and superior performance. Lowering the pathogenic bacteria loading in both the feed and the animal will increase the amount of nutrients available for growth and performance as well as reducing the incidence of digestive upsets and the need for medication. VevoVitall®


is the active form of sodium benzoate, a widely


used preservative in human food applications. It acts to regulate the growth of yeast and bacteria by effectively reducing pH in the gastro- intestinal tract and cytoplasm of pathogenic micro-organisms. This results in death of the micro-organism due to disruption of their internal metabolism and external environment. Trials comparing the antimicrobial activities of organic acids


BIOCHEM


Broad-spectrum mycotoxin binding For more than 30 years, the German company Biochem has been developing feed additives, including mycotoxin binders, for animal nutrition. Following extensive laboratory tests, Biochem has advanced the formulation of its B.I.O.Tox®


product range to significantly


increase its effectiveness. To avoid risks for the animal, the use of a high-quality toxin binder is recommended, because toxic metabolites of fungi have a high potential to impair animal performance. As animals are not exposed to only one mycotoxin, but to several toxins at the same time, the risk of negative impacts can be increased due to multiplying effects. For this reason, a high quality mycotoxin binder should be able to deal with a multi-toxin contamination - not just with one or two mycotoxins. A broad spectrum of mycotoxin binding is a key characteristic of Biochem’s B.I.O.Tox®


range. B.I.O.Tox®


on Escherichia coli show how effective benzoic acid is at regulating intestinal microflora.

the digestive tract of animals through feed intake, where it irreversibly binds the various mycotoxins and reduces or prevents resorption. Polar and non-polar mycotoxins accumulate on the surface of the toxin binder (adsorption) and are eliminated as a complex (adsorbate) in the excreta. Recent studies demonstrated that B.I.O.Tox®


products have


a very high binding affinity to various polar and less polar mycotoxins. Depending on the level of mycotoxin contamination in the feed, Biochem mycotoxin binders can reduce the harmful effects of toxins and prevent performance loss. Biochem offers needs based products for the animal feed industry (B.I.O.Tox® (B.I.O.Tox® Contact:

finished pig efficiently whilst meeting the ever increasing regulatory and environmental demands placed upon them. These factors, together with the pressure to reduce the use of medicinal products, has led to the increased use of alternative products to improve or maintain feed quality. The most important factor when choosing an alternative is that it has proven effects and is able to deliver consistent cost-effective benefit. VevoVitall®


contains 99.9% technically


pure benzoic acid and is authorised as a zootechnical feed additive for pigs from weaning to slaughter and for sows. This authorisation proves the efficacy and safety of the product and provides confidence that the user can expect a consistent cost effective benefit.
