One major concern is aflatoxins, the metabolites of the natural fungal species (fungus). They can thrive in the grains that make up a feed for all livestock species. If ingested by animals, they can cause gastrointestinal issues, liver damage, immune deficiency and even lead to carcinogenesis. 

Aflatoxins can be found in wheat, corn, rice, dried foods, spices and crude vegetable oils – but may also be present in milk and meat from animals who have consumed contaminated feed. Because most mycotoxins are chemically stable, food processing does not mitigate the risk. 

Bentonite is the only natural material registered by the European Union to combat aflatoxins. We source high-grade bentonite with very high aflatoxin-binding capacity (>90%) and very low heavy metal content, all in accordance with EU standards. Once extracted from our mines in Greece we transform it into a safe, natural feed additive.

Key benefits:

- High mycotoxin binding capacity

- Low heavy metal content

- Digestive aid for animals

- Reduces effluents

- Improves bedding conditions, odor and the overall welfare of livestock

- Promotes binding, anti-caking and flow effect in animal feed
