MYCOTOXIN ABSORBENT AND THE USE THEREOF IN BALANCED FOOD FOR ANIMALS.

摘要

The invention relates to a highly specific mycotoxin adsorbent for trichothecenes A and B, and especially for vomitoxin (or deoxynivalenol) and T-2 toxin, and to a method for producing said mycotoxin adsorbent. The adsorbent is produced by modifying the surface of an aluminosilicate by means of an organic compound with a functionalised chain which provides it with properties of high polarity. The invention further relates to the use of this type of adsorbent for producing balanced animal food which avoids the toxic effects of the trichothecenes present in the food, and to the use of the combination of said adsorbent with aluminosilicates or organoaluminosilicates for preparing balanced animal food which avoids the toxic effects of the mycotoxins.
