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.
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-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.
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.
