Detoxifying activity of Detoxa Plus ®

Mycotoxins are toxic and complicated secondary active biological metabolites produced by filamentous fungal species, mainly Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium [1]. When animals consume feeds contaminated with mycotoxins, they suffer from a series of toxic effects, such as decreased feed intake, reduced body weight gain, diarrhea, vomiting, as well as liver and kidney pulmonary edema [2]. Many different strategies, such as thermal inactivation, irradiation, physical dilution, and anti-mycotoxin products (adsorbents or elimination reagents), are used in feed mills and farms to reduce mycotoxin concentration of feedstuffs and feeds.
