Animal

Providing healthy and adequate meat and protein resources for the growing population of the world is very important problem. Zeolite with very special properties have been used as very useful feed additive from many years ago to help this issue. After years of successful field testing many feed suppliers and end-users have included zeolite in animal feed additives (around 2% to 5%) in their feed supply program. There is an overall improvement in growth and health of these animals as a result.  Zeolite is used widely by livestock farmers as an animal feed additive for beef cattle, dairy Cows, Swine, poultry , and sheep. Since.

Poultry

Throughout history, chicken and eggs have been one of the main sources of protein for human societies, and due to the growing population, the demand for this substance has increased significantly and has led to the development of industrial poultry farms. In addition to increasing the needs of the consumer market, maintaining the quality of meat and eggs is one of the main demands of the consumer market.

 

In the past decades, it has been well known that zeolite mineral clinoptilolite is one of the materials that can play a very important role in improving the quality and health of products in this industry while helping to increase production and reduce costs. Clinoptilolite is a porous aluminosilicate mineral with a porous structure with nanometer dimensions and high cation exchange capacity.

The porous structure and high cation exchange capacity cause the absorption of mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, ammonium and toxic and heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead, etc. These properties along with maintance of food in the gastrointestinal tract and moisture absorption that increase more efficient absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract, help maintain the balance of beneficial bacterial populations in gastrointestinal tract, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties , strengthen the immune system and provide suitable environment for these animals has made zeolite as very unique and useful food additive and in the bed of these animals.

Zeolite yield in poultry
  • Absorption of mycotoxins such as aflatoxins

  • Absorption of heavy metals
  • Increasing the mintance of food in the digestive system
  • Increasing protein production by increasing amino acids by increasing raw materials, catalytic effect and control of by-products
  • Helping to maintain the balance of beneficial and harmful bacterial populations in the digestive system
  • Antiviral, bacterial and fungal properties and moisture absorption
  • Helping to maintain the proper pH of the digestive system
Benefit of using zeolite
  • Weight gain faster
  • Increasing the quality, health and reducing the level of contamination in meat products
  • Increased thickness and firmness of egg shell due to improved calcium function, especially if zeolite is consumed with vitamin A.
  • Preventing the smooth surface of the egg shell as a cause of cracking
  • Helping to improve the natural color, taste and smell of eggs
  • Increasing the durability of eggs
  • Preventing the disruption of protein synthesis by absorbing aflatoxins as a result of increasing production
  • Separation of calcium from dicalcium phosphate in the diet in such a way as to provide a balanced supply of phosphorus and calcium for birds, which is important for bone growth and repair, and therefore reduces zeolite bone fracture, which is one of the problems in this area.
  • Prevent the negative consequences that mycotoxins normally cause.
  • Preventing the destruction of the homogeneous shape of broiler chicken
  • Reducing the water content of chicken feces
  • Reducing the occurrence of diarrhea
  • High resistance to Salmonella
  • Increase overall health and reduce the incidence of some diseases by strengthening the immune system as well as a healthier living environment
  • Increasing food productivity rates
  • Reducing the cost of food required
  • Reduction of moisture, fungi, pathogens as well as unpleasant odor in poultry bed
  • The possibility of using zeolites used in animal litter in agriculture as a completely natural and very useful fertilizer
Aquatic, fish and shrimp

Zeolite-clinoptilolite is a porous aluminosilicate mineral with high cation exchange capacity and wide specific surface area that can be used in aquaculture such as fish and shrimp due to its unique properties and therefore, reduces the cost, increases the quality and health of produced meat, increase product and better and easier supply of the product to the markets.

The high amount consumed protein in aquatic food due to its high cost is always an obstacle to the development of aquaculture on a large scale. By adding zeolite to fish food due to its properties, the efficiency of food consumption is greatly increased. The use of zeolite in aquatic food is to increase the absorption of protein, reduce the rate of food passage through the gastrointestinal tract, reduce the concentration of excreted ammonia and reduce ammonia leakage from food not consumed in the aquatic environment.

Zeolite performance
  • PH adjustment: Zeolite forms a tampon by adsorbing ammonium ions and ion exchange properties, which modulates the pH.
  • Physical and chemical treatment of water naturally and increase of water oxygen
  • Ammonium adsorption due to ion exchange properties
  • Increase protein production by increasing amino acids by increasing raw materials, catalytic effect and control of by-products
  • Absorption of toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, methane and ammonia by surface adsorption
  • Improve the growth of phytoplankton and control the growth of algae
  • Phosphate uptake and its gradual addition to the environment, which will reduce the use of phosphate fertilizer.
  • Absorption of heavy toxic metals in water and food
  • Hardening of the shell in farmed shrimp
  • Creating a coating on the organic materials of the pool bed and preventing the leakage of toxic substances
  • The use of zeolite in fish bags helps maintain water quality and healthier and higher quality transportation.
Zeolite using benefits
  • Cost reduction
  • Increase the amount of product
  • Increase protein quality
  • Better and easier supply of the product to the consumer market
  • Maintain longer freshness after fishing
Livestock and poultry litter

The ammonia smell is the most obvious indicator of air pollution in livestock and poultry. In the meantime, ensuring that their living space is hygienic is just as important as having a proper ventilation system. Zeolite-clinoptilolite is an ideal material to get rid of the bad smell of ammonia, reduce humidity, prevent the common problem of lowering the pH and create a completely hygienic environment. This completely natural mineral without any harmful chemical additives can be used in poultry farms, horse stables, cattle ranches, sheep, pets such as cats, dogs, birds.

Benefits of using zeolite in livestock and poultry litter
  • Prevent acidification of the bed and burns of the feet and chest caused by this acidity
  • Providing a soft dry bed and preventing their bed from hardening and preventing diarrhea caused by lying on a hard and wet bed
  • Preventing ocular and respiratory complications caused by breathing ammonia vapors
  • Reducing the stress level of animals through a bed with natural negative charge and neutralizing the positive static electric charge
  • Reduction of bad smell caused by ammonia and hydrogen sulfide due to the absorption of these gases
  • Absorbs moisture and prevents the spread of fungi, germs and parasites and creates a healthier environment with fewer microorganisms
  • Reduction of flies, insects and vermin
  • Loss of slippery surface and as a result reduce the possibility of livestock slipping in the hall
  • Absorption of urine and feces and as a result the possibility of faster and easier collection
  • Reducing the consumption of heating, cooling and electricity due to less need for ambient ventilation
  • Creating a feeling of peace for poultry and ruminants and as a result better rumination, which in turn leads to better digestion of food and more milk and protein production.
  • Easy separation and collection of male litter because zeolite prevents these materials from sticking and hardening
  • The possibility of using zeolites used in the bed as an excellent natural fertilizer
  • Note: Used zeolites in the substrate could be used as a completely organic and natural fertilizer due to it is rich in organic matter, especially nitrogen and phosphorus.
