According to statistics, 73% of feed samples worldwide exceed the standard for mycotoxins. There are over 12000 feed processing enterprises in China, with a feed output of no less than 200 million tons. Most regions, especially those south of the Yangtze River, experience high temperatures and humidity in summer, leading to the occurrence of feed mold and contamination by mycotoxins, which pose a significant threat. Many people feel unfamiliar with mycotoxins because they are organisms in the microscopic world that we cannot directly see with the naked eye. Their true appearance can only be seen through a microscope in the laboratory.
Although we cannot see it, it is always around us. Common ones include aflatoxin, ochratoxin, kumquat, ergot toxin, vomitoxin, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, etc. Each type of toxin can cause varying degrees of harm, but due to the influence of our living environment, climate, and other factors, these toxins often do not appear alone. They usually appear in multiple forms at the same time, causing even greater harm.
The current popular solution is physical adsorption, which is relatively safe and will not cause secondary damage to feed or feed consumers. The commonly used adsorbent in China is montmorillonite, which has good adsorption properties and has a good adsorption effect on mold.
