Zeolite is used in animal husbandry as a feed additive for various reasons. Here are some of the main reasons why zeolite is used in animal feeding:

  • Toxin Binding: Zeolite has the ability to bind toxins and harmful substances, removing them from the animals’ digestive tracts. This is particularly beneficial for animals in intensive animal farming, as they are at an increased risk of consuming contaminated feed.
  • Improved Digestion: The use of zeolite supports the digestive function in animals by enhancing nutrient absorption. It helps in the efficient absorption and utilization of nutrients, significantly promoting animal growth and health.
  • Diarrhea Reduction: Zeolite helps reduce diarrhea in animals by binding excessive moisture in the intestines, thus regulating stool consistency.
  • pH Regulation: Zeolite helps stabilize the pH in the digestive tract, essential for maintaining a healthy digestive environment and preventing the colonization of harmful bacteria.
  • Stress Reduction: In stressful situations such as animal transportation or feed changes, adding zeolite can help reduce stress symptoms and protect animal health from harmful stress hormones.
  • Improved Animal Health: Using zeolite as a feed additive helps promote overall animal health and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

Economic Benefits of Using Natmin 9000 in Animal Husbandry:

  • Acceleration of Fattening Period: Reduces the time until animals are ready for slaughter.
  • Increase in Egg Production: Boosts egg production in poultry.
  • Enhancement of Egg Quality: Provides a significant increase in egg size, egg weight, and eggshell quality.
  • Prevention of Performance Decline in Aging Hens: Prevents the decline in egg production typically associated with aging hens.
  • Reduction of Mortality Rate: Significantly lowers the mortality rate in animals.
  • Efficiency Improvement in Fish Farming: Enhances specific growth rate (SGR) and reduces feed conversion rate (FCR).

Advantages in Feed Production and Storage:

  • Quality Improvement of Feed: Elevates feed quality by reducing mold formation.
  • Prevention of Oxidation in Fish Feed: Prevents oxidation and deterioration during storage by absorbing oil in fish feed.
  • Clump Prevention and Moisture Control: Enhances feed quality by preventing clumping and decay through moisture absorption.
  • Energy Savings in the Pelletization Process: Enables energy savings during the pelletization process, thereby reducing feed costs.
  • Protection Against Oxidation and Decomposition During Storage: Prevents oxidation and decomposition of feed during storage.
  • Detoxification of Raw Feeds: Binds (captures) toxins and heavy metals present in raw feeds to protect animal health.
