This invention relates to a non-medicinal food additive that is an animal growth promoter containing 99% pure zeolite partially or totally exchanged with a Cm+ cation, i.e., a synthetic zeolite, having the general formula I below: <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="00001"> <math overflow="scroll"> <mrow> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mi>m</mi> </mfrac> <mo></mo> <mrow> <msup> <mi>yC</mi> <mrow> <mi>m</mi> <mo>+</mo> </mrow> </msup> <mo></mo> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mrow> <mn>1</mn> <mo>-</mo> <mi>y</mi> </mrow> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> </mrow> <mo></mo> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mi>n</mi> </mfrac> <mo></mo> <msup> <mi>M</mi> <mrow> <mi>n</mi> <mo>+</mo> </mrow> </msup> <mo></mo> <msub> <mi>AlO</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msub> <mo></mo> <msub> <mi>xSiO</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msub> </mrow> </math> </maths> in which x is greater than 1 and advantageously between 1 and 15; Mn+ represents an alkaline or alkaline earth exchangeable ion, advantageously Na+, K+, Ca2+ or Li+; n is between 1 and 2; y is the exchange rate and is between 0.001 and 1; Cm+ is a metallic cation chosen from among copper Cu2+, silver Ag+ or zinc Zn2+; m is between 1 and 2; this invention also relates to an additive premix and a supplemented food containing same and a method of improving the growth of animals. |
