Mycotoxin Binding Properties of Clinoptilolite

Clinoptilolite is currently not approved for use in animal feed in North America, but has been extensively researched and applied for this use in many countries including Europe. 

In Alberta and Canada, producers who keep up with the science are turning to clinoptilolite feed additive for its many benefits but the data in mycotoxin binding is also very encouraging. Alfatoxins and their effects are some of the most intensely researched mycotoxins. Clinoptilolite is able to adsorb significant quantities of aflatoxins which has been shown to improve the health in poultry, swine and sheep operations (Mumpton, 1999; Parlat et al, 1999; Kyriakis et al, 2002).  

Clinoptilolite has the ability to bind a range of mycotoxins, creating stable complexes. Research has demonstrated that clinoptilolite absorbs toxins created by mold in animal feed, in addition to improved nutrient absorption with cattle, poultry and swine.
