The use of non-nutritive absorptive matters to prevent and eliminate mycotoxin effects

Abstract

This review article is treating the use of several non-nutritive adsorbents in vitro and their in vivo application as possible solution it treating mycotoxicosis. Adsorbents reviewed were: zeolites, bentonites, HSCAS, various clays and active charcoal. It is shown that with the addition of those non-nutritive adsorbents the effects of mycotoxins, that may be present in significant amounts in animal feeds, could be neutralized to some degree. It must be stressed that there is no single substance that is equally effective in adsorption of all mycotoxins, also that no substance is able to completely eliminate negative mycotoxin effects. .

Ovaj pregledni rad razmatra upotrebu nekoliko različitih adsorbenata in vitro i njihovu primenu in vivo kao mogući pristup u rešavanju mikotoksikoza. Prikazani adsorbenti su bili: zeoliti, bentoniti i HSCAS. U raduje prikazano da se dodavanjem navedenih nenutritivnih adsorptivnih materija sa većim ili manjim uspehom može neutralizovati dejstvo mikotoksina, koji mogu da budu značajno zastupljeni u stočnoj hrani. Treba istaći da ne postoji materija podjednako efikasna u adsorbciji svih mikotoksina niti takva koja bi u potpunosti eliminisala negativan uticaj mikotoksina.
