Animal Nutrition & Health
Our portfolio of feed additives represents the most state-of-the-art solution for protecting animal health by deactivating the mycotoxins that contaminate farm animal feed, either in the animal or in the feed itself. The safety and efficacy of our products are proven by 7 EU authorizations for substances that deactivate mycotoxins.
If not properly deactivated, mycotoxin contamination in animal feed has the potential to:
Mineral adsorbents selectively bind adsorbable mycotoxins such as aflatoxins and ergot alkaloids as well as endotoxins.
Mycofix® contains EU authorized bentonite which binds more than 90% of aflatoxins, meeting the strict requirements set by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL).
According to diversity of studies, except from Aflatoxin and Ergot Alkaloids, mycotoxins are not well adsorbed by binders. Therefore, the non-adsorbable mycotoxins need a specific biotransformation strategy to be counteracted:
A unique combination of patented targeted enzymes and biological components converts mycotoxins into non-toxic, environmentally-safe metabolites.
ZENzyme® is the first and only purified enzyme that degrades zearalenone fast, specifically and irreversibly into non-toxic and non-estrogenic metabolites.
FUMzyme® is a purified enzyme that is unique and specific for the biotransformation of all fumonisins!
Hydrolysis: FUM -> HFUM + TCA*
Biomin® BBSH® 797 is a live organism that produces de-epoxidases which open the toxic epoxide ring of trichothecenes (e.g. DON)
Biomin® MTV is a non-pathogenic yeast Trichosporon mycotoxinivorans. The specific enzymes produced by Biomin® MTV detoxify OTA in the intestinal tract of the animals. The resulting product is no longer harmful to the animal
The Biomin® Bioprotection Mix is an innovative mix of natural ingredients that protects against a weakened immune system and lower performance caused by endotoxins and (emerging) mycotoxins. It provides immune and liver support, strengthens the intestinal barrier and tight junctions in the presence of mycotoxins.
The Mycofix® portfolio of feed additives represents the most state-of-the-art solution for protecting animal health by deactivating mycotoxins that contaminate farm animal feed.
Absolute protection against the broadest range of mycotoxins. With ZENzyme® Faster and Better
FUMzyme®, the only enzyme that effectively detoxifies fumonisins safely and irreversibly, is available for post-pellet and liquid application in animal feed.
Our portfolio of tools helps to understand the potential risks of mycotoxins for animal species and location.
We offer a range of analytical services to customers to assess the mycotoxin contamination of feed materials.
The Mycotoxin Prediction Service delivers assessments of expected mycotoxin levels in the upcoming harvest of corn (maize) and wheat around the world.
The dsm-firmenich Mycotoxin Survey constitutes the longest running and most comprehensive data set on mycotoxin occurrence.
Not all products are available in all markets nor associated claims allowed in all regions (including but not limited to USA and Canada).
