VF TOX

VF-TOX powerfully binds to and inactivates mycotoxins present in mould-contaminated feed whilst supporting overall gastrointestinal health.

Every raw material used in the production of animal feed, invariably contains large amounts of mould spores that are not all destroyed during processing. These spores produce mycotoxins which are detrimental to animal health across all species. Mycotoxins reduce feed intake and damage the cell lining the gastro-intestinal tract leading to diarrhoea and other enteric disorders. Mycotoxins can enter the blood stream which results in detrimental effects to other organs such as the brain, reproductive system, kidneys and liver. As a consequence, a reduction in growth, reproductive performance and general health is observed.

VF tox is a blend of compounds chosen for their ability to selectively adsorb mycotoxins, whilst supporting the establishment of beneficial intestinal micro-flora and health of the digestive system.

The clay minerals found in VF tox, act by forming a stable electrochemical bond with aflatoxins. Once this bond is formed, the toxin is inactivated and prevented from being absorbed in the gastro-intestinal tract. The body is them able to remove the bound toxin easily through the faeces. Other ingredients in VF tox have a wide adsorption profile to a range of mycotoxin species. Additionally, specific constituents found in VF tox bind to pathogenic bacteria thereby inhibiting its growth and proliferation whilst also promoting the growth of beneficial bactierialeading to optimal digestive health.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Produced from naturally occurring compounds and safe to feed to all classes of livestock.
• Reduces humidity levels in stored grains and feeds, therefore preventing mould and toxin growth.
• Contains mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) and beta-glucans which help maintain and establish beneficial gastro-intestinal bacteria.
• Binds to the active chemical groups of mycotoxins, inactivates the toxinand converts them to compounds of larger sizes which prevents their adsorption into the animal’s intestinal wall. VF-TOX does not bind to vitamins, minerals or other nutrients of benefit to the animal
