Wide choice of feed and fodder with zeolite in Sorano

Benefits for breeding

Feed and fodder with zeolite are optimal for improving nutrition regimes in farms and animal health: Piandirena Zeolite Toscana, on this page, presents the results of some studies that highlight the various advantages of choosing for your farm feed and fodder with zeolite.

The critical review (Mumpton 1978, 1984; Harvey et al., 1993; Pond 1995; Passaglia 2004) of the abundant literature shows that the regular addition of zeolitite to traditional zootechnical feeds (2-3% w / w) involves:

reduction of the N-ammonia content of sewage; reduction of NH3 content and bad smells in farms and neighboring areas; less smelly and more consistent excrements; reduction of intestinal and respiratory diseases, consequent costs for medicines and mortality rate ;

slight but significant improvement in the conversion index (FEV = increase in weight / food ingested excluding zeolite) of feed; reduction in the absorption by animals of afla-and mycotoxins, heavy (Pb) and radiogenic (Cs, Sr) elements possibly present in feed.

Furthermore, by spreading zeolitite in the litter and in the gratings, the NH4 content is drastically reduced and, at the same time, sewage and bad smells are reduced. The use of zeolitite subjected to heat treatment at 150-180 ° C in the industrial processing process (crushing and screening) is of fundamental importance both as regards the hygienic-sanitary profile (bacteriological sterility) and efficiency (increase in capacity absorption of afla-and mycotoxins).
