Broad spectrum of activity offers the best protection

In the light of raw material shortages, disruptive markets and ever-present price increases, we cannot tolerate poor nutrient content in feed and inadequate feed conversion. Mycotoxins must not be ignored as a possible cause of performance loss and poor feed conversion, especially during the rainy season, when higher rainfall leads to an increased spread of mycotoxins. To get the best out of your feed, it takes the right strategy.

Your feed deserves better

The best strategy here is to go for a multifunctional mycotoxin binder that is efficient against a wide range of mycotoxins. Dr. Eckel’s mycotoxin binder Anta^®Ferm is the solution of choice here. It protects livestock from both polar and apolar mycotoxins and reduces the associated negative effects on animal health and by that helps optimise productivity and resource use. As trial results demonstrate, Anta^®Ferm is considerably more effective than other products. In a trial with broilers, Anta^®Ferm was tested against Product 1 (yeast-based, dosage: 1 kg/t) and Product 2 (clay-mineral–based, dosage: 2 kg/t) over a period of 36 days. As opposed to these products, Anta^®Ferm is an activated, multifunctional complex of organic and inorganic binding components. The feed for the negative control (NC) contained no mycotoxin binders. The feed for all the experimental groups was contaminated naturally with all problematic mycotoxins (Table 1).

The results showed that broilers fed Anta^®Ferm achieved by far the best gain and feed conversion (Figure 1). These were even significantly better results than those for Product 2, despite the fact that a double dosage of the latter was applied.
