ycotoxin contamination of
feed stuff often involves
multiple toxins affecting
various aspects of animal
health, gut integrity, and
animal performance.
This is mainly caused by
the detrimental effects
mycotoxins have on the
immune system, the gut barrier or the oxidative status of the
animals. Effects that can be seen are, for instance, enlarged or
shrunken organs as well as inflamed tissues. Binding components
efficacy is essential to prevent the maximum of toxins from
entering the digestive tract.
But as mycotoxins and their metabolites are so numerous with
different chemical structures (polarity, size, conformation, etc),
no binder is able to bind efficiently all categories of mycotoxins.
In addition to special care to prevent the growth of moulds,
detoxification measures, reduction of gastrointestinal absorption
with mycotoxin binders, there is a need for prevention of the
mycotoxin-induced toxic effects once the toxin is ingested.
Nutritional approaches, such as supplementation of nutrients,
food components, or additives with protective effects against
mycotoxin toxicity are gaining interest. In response, Dr Eckel
has developed a new generation of mycotoxin binder to face the
challenges of modern animal production.

studies show that feeding poultry low or moderate levels
of deoxynivalenol (DON) alone or combined with other
fusariotoxins leads to a reduction in villi height in both the
duodenum and jejunum. Practical implications can range
from diarrhoea, inflammation and fever to reduced feed
efficiency. In a series of trials, the plant based ingredients
in Anta Ferm MT FlavoMax have shown to act as an antiinflammatory agent along the digestive tract, having a
positive effect on the integrity of the intestinal epithelium
resulting in an improved feed conversion ratio (fig 2).
