Zar-Min Natural Zeolite
Feed Additive for Animals
Zar-Min is used as a natural zeolite feed additive by producers of beef cattle, dairy cows, horses, broilers, commercial egg layers, swine, sheep, rabbits and turkeys. It is FDA approved for use as an anti-caking agent.
ZAR-MIN Use Level
- 2 to 20 kgs. (5 to 45 lbs.)
- Per tonne (ton) of Complete Feed
Reformulation of the energy, salt or other
ingredients in the ration is not necessary,
but some users reformulate to make their
rations isocaloric.
Mechanism
Zar-Min natural zeolite feed additive has no caloric value and is not a therapeutic.
Zar-Min’s mechanism for improving the economics is due to the natural zeolite structure binding the mycotoxins on the surface, and ionically buffering the digestive tract. Due to the surface CEC, the Zar-Min surface is polar and will attract the complex and polar mycotoxin molecules.
The internal CEC binds positively charged ions such as the ammonium cation. When excess ammonia builds up in the digestive tract, Zar-Min natural zeolite feed additive will ion exchange into the lattice, thereby reducing the toxic effects of excess ammonia.
