MYCOTOXIN ABSORBENT AND THE USE THEREOF IN BALANCED FOOD FOR ANIMALS

摘要

A mycotoxin adsorbent highly specific for A and B trichothecenes, and especially for vomitoxin (or deoxinivalenol) and T-2 toxin; as well as a process for the preparation of said mycotoxin adsorbent. The adsorbent is obtained by modifying the surface of an aluminum silicate using an organic functionalized-chain compound which provides it with high polarity properties. The use of this type of adsorbent in the preparation of balanced animal feed that avoid the toxic effects of the trichothecenes present in the feed and the use of the combination of this adsorbent with aluminum silicates or organic aluminum silicates for the preparation of balanced animal feeds that avoid the toxic effects of mycotoxins.
