Faunsdale, AL | There are a couple of products that have some proven label claims to bind mycotoxins. Usually aflatoxin is the main one tested even though there are many different mycotoxins. Most of the products are types of clay. Diabond and Geobond are two brand names of clay mined from the same site which have a claim for aflatoxin. Nova-sil is another clay material with a label claim. It is sold as an anti-caking ingredient to keep feed flowing. Bentonite is a clay that is used in pellet binders etc as well as other industrial uses which has been used, but to my knowledge there is no testing to show how well it works. Problem with all these things is the toxin is still there, you are just "betting" the binder is going to do it's job and keep the cow or other animal from absorbing the toxin.
There are also other types of products other than minerals which are marketed to bind mycotoxins.
None of this does anything about contaminated corn and state/federal regulations about moving across state lines etc. | |
