Why zeolite is important in poultry nutrition

Clinoptilolite is a mineral derived from hydrated aluminosilicate which contains. Ions such as Ca, K, Na, and Mg, a forms a 3D crystal lattice. This specific structure allows selective absorption of gases. Ions and various low-molecular-weight substances such as mycotoxins. Clinoptilolites are able to selectively exchange their own ions for the ions from the environment. These substances were also found to absorb various mycotoxins. Animals that were administered feed mixtures containing additives based on clinoptilolites showed better performance traits, for example, increased weight gain in pigs or increased laying and improved quality of eggs.
