Find out moreAccording to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, 25% of feed worldwide is contaminated with different mycotoxins.
Mycotoxins are poisonous compounds which are formed by various mold fungi belonging to the species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium. These globally found fungi grow on grain and crops and can occur either before/after harvest, during storage, on/in the food itself often under warm, damp and humid conditions.

NATURAL SOLUTION AGAINST MYCOTOXINS
Clariant TOXISORB™ product line is a range of specially developed feed additives that help bind fungal mycotoxins and help prevent them from being resorbed into animals bodies, where they may produce damaging effects.
Benefits of TOXISORB™:
- TOXISORB™ products are able to bind a large array of mycotoxins due to their vast surface area as well as the high quality of raw materials used.
- High stability of TOXISORB™ products helps to prevent the release of already bound toxins during the complex processes inside the animal (temperature changes, pH changes etc.)
- TOXISORB™ products are targeting only the mycotoxins, without affecting feed nutrients.
TOXISORB™ solutions are suitable for:
