“…Our FCR results were similar to the findings of Mayura et al (1998) Miles and Henry (2007), However, our FCR results were not similar to Toker and Köknaroğlu (2004), Deligiannis (2005) and Alexopoulos et al (2007). When diet clinoptilolite levels increased, in order to get enough nutrients animals consumed more feed.…”

The objective of this study was to test the effects of dietary natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) on performance, skin and liver histology in rats. In this study, 24 10-week-old, weaned, adult male Spraque-Dawley rats with approximately 306  18.93 g initial live weight were used. The rats were randomly divided into four groups with three replicates, including a control group and groups with one of three doses of clinoptilolite (2%, 4%, and 6%) in their diets. All the rats were fed these concentrates throughout the experimental period of 56 days. The animals were reared individually in stainless steel cages. There were no significant differences in the primary and secondary follicle numbers among groups, but the diameters of each follicle were found to be significant. The primary and secondary follicle numbers and diameters ranged from lowest to highest as follows: 2.00-2. 33, 4.50-7.17; and 11.53-20.42, 57.63-102.12m, respectively. The differences occurred between the control group and group IV (containing 6% zeolite). In addition, the skin and liver histology results showed that there were no differences among the groups. Bu araştırma rat yemlerine ilave edilen doğal zeolitin (klinoptilolit) performans, deri ve karaciğer histolojisi üzerine etkilerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, hayvan materyali olarak 24 adet on haftalık yaştaki, yaklaşık 306  18,93 g canlı ağırlığındaki sütten kesilmiş erkek yetişkin Spraque-Dawley rat kullanılmıştır. Ratlar tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre üçer tekerrürlü, 4 gruba (klinoptilolit içermeyen grup kontrol grubunu oluştururken, %2, %4, and %6 düzeylerinde klinoptilolit ilavesinin yapıldığı gruplar muamele gruplarını oluşturacak şekilde) rastgele dağıtılmıştır. Deneme 56 gün sürmüştür. Deneme bireysel paslanmaz çelikten yapılmış kafeslerde yürütülmüştür. Primer ve sekonder folikül sayıları bakımından gruplar arasında istatistiki olarak önemli düzeyde farklılık tespit edilmemekle beraber, her iki folikülün çap değerleri ise önemli bulunmuştur. Primer ve sekonder folikül sayıları ve çapları en yüksek ve en düşük değerler olarak sırasıyla 2, 00-2,33; 4,50-7,17 ve 11,53-20,42; 57,63-102,12m, olarak tespit edilmiştir. Önemli düzeydeki farklılık control grubuyla, IV. grup (%6 klinoptilolit içeren) arasında meydana gelmiştir. Ayrıca, derinin ve karaciğerin histolojik olarak incelenmesi sonucunda gruplar arasında önemli düzeyde farklılık tespit edilmemiştir.

“…The effect of dietary supplementation with clinoptilolite on performance and biochemical serum values in dairy goats was investigated by Katsoulos and Christodoulopoulos . The use of clinoptilolite on food intake and the performance of growing lambs contaminated with gastrointestinal nematodes was increased and it was suggested that this compound could be utilized as a natural alternative to prevent gastrointenstinal nematodes in sheep rations . The influence of dietary fiber, protein and zeolites on zearalenone toxicosis in female weaning rats and swine was also investigated by Smith .…”

Applications of natural zeolites on agriculture and food production

Zeolites are crystalline hydrated aluminosilicates with remarkable physical and chemical properties, which include losing and receiving water in a reverse way, adsorbing molecules that act as molecular sieves, and replacing their constituent cations without structural change. The commercial production of natural zeolites has accelerated during the last 50 years. The Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association recorded more than 200 zeolites, which currently include more than 40 naturally occurring zeolites. Recent findings have supported their role in stored-pest management as inert dust applications, pesticide and fertilizer carriers, soil amendments, animal feed additives, mycotoxin binders and food packaging materials. There are many advantages of inert dust application, including low cost, non-neurotoxic action, low mammalian toxicity and safety for human consumption. The latest consumer trends and government protocols have shifted toward organic origin materials to replace synthetic chemical products. In the present review, we summarize most of the main uses of zeolites in food and agruculture, along with the with specific paradigms that illustrate their important role. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Clinoptilolite is the most abundant zeolite in nature and also the most widely used in studies involving farm animals. For example, the results of those studies suggest that the use of clinoptilolite in the diet of growing lambs have favourable effects on their growth and performance (Deligiannis et al, 2005), whereas similar effects were observed in other studies with ruminants (Mumpton & Fishman, 1977;Pond et al, 1984;Pond, 1989;Katsoulos et al, 2005), as well as non-ruminant (monogastric) animals (Papaioannou et al, 2004) or poultry (TserveniGousi et al, 1997;Christaki et al, 2001). However, to our knowledge, there is no evidence in the literature of similar studies in rabbits.…”

“…For example, Papaionannou et al (2004) reported a significant effect of the addition of 2% NZ to the diets of growing pigs in agreement to findings of previous studies (Cool & Willard, 1982;Pond et al, 1988;Coffey & Pilkinston, 1989;Yannakopoulos et al, 2000). Improvement in growth and feed efficiency by the addition of NZ has also been reported in poultry (Tserveni-Gousi et al, 1997) and in ruminants (Pond, 1989;Deligiannis et al, 2005;Katsoulos et al, 2005).…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a diet containing a clinoptilolite rich material (tuff) on growth and carcass characteristics of fattening rabbits. Three diets were formulated; diet C was a standard commercial diet that served as control, while diet L contained 1.25% natural zeolite (NZ) and diet Η contained 2.5% NZ. Seventy-two New Zealand χ Californian rabbits were used after weaning at 35 days of age. They were randomly allocated into three groups (n=24, with three replicates of four male and four female rabbits each, balanced for body weight) according to the above dietary treatments. All rabbits were weighed individually on weaning and thereafter on weekly basis. Feed intake was monitored weekly on subgroup basis. The experiment lasted 8 weeks. Performance traits and mortality level were recorded in the aforementioned period. In the end of this period all rabbits were stunned and slaughtered to obtain the European carcass weight. Six carcasses per group (two per subgroup, one male and one female) were randomly selected for the determination of carcass characteristics. The results of the current study showed that the incorporation of a clinoptilolite rich tuff (natural zeolite) in the diet of growing rabbits did not affect their growth or the carcass characteristics, whereas feed efficiency and mortality level were negatively affected.
