Cattle Feed Bentonite Powder

Product Description

Benefits of Bentonite in Animal Feeds

Pellet Binding Agent:

Bentonite acts as an excellent binder in the production of feed pellets, improving their durability and reducing fines (broken particles).

Anti-Caking Agent:

It prevents clumping in feed products, maintaining the free-flowing nature of the feed.

Mycotoxin Binder:

Bentonite can adsorb mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, in the gastrointestinal tract of animals, reducing the harmful effects of contaminated feed.

Improves Digestive Health:

It helps stabilize gut flora by reducing toxins and enhancing nutrient absorption in livestock.

Mineral Supplement:

Bentonite contains trace minerals that can contribute to the overall mineral balance in feed.

pH Stabilizer:

It helps buffer stomach acidity, especially in ruminants, improving feed efficiency.

Applications in Different Animal Feeds

Ruminants (cattle, sheep): Enhances feed efficiency and reduces toxin absorption.

Poultry: Acts as a toxin binder and improves feed pellet quality.

Swine: Reduces diarrhea and enhances nutrient absorption.

Aquaculture: Used in fish feed as a binder and to prevent water pollution caused by fine feed particles.

Recommended Usage

The inclusion rate of bentonite in animal feed typically ranges between 1% and 5%, depending on the feed formulation and the specific needs of the livestock.
