“…Thus, mycotoxin adsorbents exert an influence on gastro-intestinal health, which can affect nutrient digestibility and therefore improve animal performance and health. The use of clinoptiloite as an absorbent has been extensively studied in Serbia [ 13 , 23 , 24 ]. Despite other studies that have shown clinoptilolite to be not effective for all mycotoxins or that it might have a negative influence on performance, the present study suggests that clinoptilolite supplementation in poultry feed at the level of 0.2% led to a significant reduction of the harmful effects of OTA, as well as an increase in feed consumption, body weight, and the number of eggs of laying hens.…”

“…Of the thousands of mycotoxins, OTA is one of the best known, and with the greatest public health and agro-economic significance due to its worldwide occurrence and prevalence [1]. OTA is primarily produced during storage Toxins 2021, 13, 469 2 of 14 by several fungal strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium species under varying environmental conditions (in tropical, warmer, or colder regions) [2]. OTA is considered a potent nephrotoxic mycotoxin that causes renal toxicity and possesses carcinogenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic, and possibly neurotoxic properties, based on experimental animal studies [1].…”

“…Milicevic et al [ 12 ] suggested a set of prevention and control measures to mitigate the negative effects of mycotoxins on animal health, quality, and the safety of their products. In intensive poultry production various mineral adsorbents are often used to mitigate the harmful effects of mycotoxins [ 13 , 14 ]. Minazel Plus ® (MZ) is an adsorbent created as a result of an ion exchange reaction between inorganic cations on the mineral surface and organic cations.…”

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of modified clinoptilolite (Minazel Plus®, MZ) as a mycotoxin adsorbent for preventing the negative the effects of ochratoxin A (OTA) on performance, pathohistological changes, and OTA residue in the eggs of laying hens. Methods: Forty eight (n = 48) laying hens (27 weeks old) were equally divided into six groups and depending on the type of addition were allocated to the following experimental treatments for 7 weeks: E-I group-1 mg/kg OTA; E-II group 0.25 mg/kg OTA; E-III group 1 mg/kg OTA + 0.2% of MZ; E-IV group 0.25 mg/kg OTA + 0.2% of MZ; MZ group supplemented with 0.2% of the adsorbent; and control (K, without feed additive). Results: Overall, the addition of 0.2% MZ to laying hen feed mitigated the harmful effects of OTA on target organs and reduced the presence of OTA residue in eggs. The groups that received 0.2% of MZ achieved better production results in terms of body weight, number of eggs, and feed consumption, compared to the other treatments. Conclusions: The current findings confirm the efficacy of MZ in preventing performance losses in laying hens exposed to OTA, as well as for improving the welfare and health of food producing animals.

“…Quality of poultry feed is an important precondition to achieve optimal production results, and preservation of the health of birds, especially in intensive poultry production; hence it is necessary to control both raw materials and finished feed products (Karovic et al, 2013). Besides, the key nutrients in commercial poultry feed such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and certain vitamins, many other macro and micro minerals are also considered as indispensable part of the bird's nutritional requirements.…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of AZOMITE® as source of natural minerals on growth performance of commercial broiler. A total of 1,020 day-old Cobb 500 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 5 dietary treatments with 6 replications per treatment having 34 chicks in each pen. The five dietary treatments were: (i) basal diet without AZOMITE®, (ii) basal diet with 0.25% AZOMITE®, (iii) basal diet with 0.50% AZOMITE® which was recommended by manufacturer, (iv) basal diet with 0.75% AZOMITE® and (v) basal diet with 1.0% AZOMITE®. Broilers were reared in open-sided gable type house for a period of 32 days. Results showed that the supplementation of AZOMITE® had significant effect on growth performance (p<0.01) of broilers. Live body weight (LBW), body weight gain (BWG), average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), European efficiency factor (EEF) and gain cost of the birds fed various levels of AZOMITE® were significantly improved as compared to the control. Meat characteristics results indicated that the treatments had no significant effect on dressing percent, thigh, drumsticks and breast percentage among the dietary groups. Taken together, it may be concluded that the supplementation of AZOMITE® in commercial broiler at 0.50 to 1.0% improved live weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of commercial broilers.

“…Boyer (2000) (cited by Karović et al, 2013) stated that clinoptilolite presence in animal fodder would lead to a significant increase of feed efficiency as well as reduction of potential for intestinal diseases (diarrhoea), whereby the toxic effect of ammonium ions surplus would be reduced. Some researchers explain this with the existence of the clinoptilolite preference for large ions such as NH 4 + , so it serves as a reservoir for ammonia.…”

ABSTRACT:In this paper are presented the results of investigation of the application of mineral adsorbents in broiler diet. Total of 400 broilers Cobb 500 provenience were divided into 4 groups: control group (C) of broilers fed without added mineral adsorbent; 1 st group with added Min-a-zel in the amount of 0.5%; 2 nd group with added Min-a-zel Plus in the amount of 0.2%; and 3 rd group with added Min-a-zel Plus in the amount of 0.3%. Fattening lasted for 42 days. Broilers were reared on the floor stocking system; feed and water supply were ad libitum. Fattening performances such as live body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and production number were better in group of broilers that was fed a diet with added mineral adsorbents. Broilers from the 1 st group achieved the highest live weight and had the lowest feed consumption and feed conversion ratio, and also the best production number. Slaughter characteristics of broilers in the 1 st group were also the best. They had the biggest share of the most valuable parts, breast and drumsticks. Obtained results showed that mineral adsorbents can be successfully used as additives in the diets for broilers for improved production and better fattening performances.
