MINERAL FEED ADDITIVE
Composition + Mode of Action
İncal Feedin is a premium animal feed additive that harnesses the power of Zeolite - Clinoptilolite, a naturally occurring crystalline aluminosilicate mineral of sedimentary origin. Its unique internal structure consists of numerous channels, pores, and cavities, imparting remarkable cation-exchange capacity (CEC). The surface of Clinoptilolite bears a negative charge, endowing it with a strong affinity for selectively binding with positively charged elements or molecules present in the animal's digestive tract.
Enhanced Feed Efficacy
İncal Feedin ensures the safety, dryness, and loose form of animal feed during storage and transportation, leading to a reduced occurrence of moisture, mold, and toxic metabolites in storage silos. Moreover, its anti-caking properties promote free-flowing feed, eliminating undesirable clumps during the application process. İncal Feedin's chemical stability and inert nature make it an ideal additive, preserving the integrity of essential feed nutrients.
How to Use
Technological Additive / Anti-Caking Agent / Binders
By incorporating İncal Feedin into the feed production process, water contained in feedstuffs is adsorbed, resulting in a decrease in volume and weight. As a result, the feed becomes better formable, dry, and loose, enhancing its overall handling and application.
Direct Incorporation into Complete Compound Feed
For all animal species, İncal Feedin can be directly incorporated into complete feed mixtures at a maximum dose of 10,000 mg/kg. It also provides the flexibility of being added add-on to the complete recipe or substituted for specific components (e.g., wheat, wheat bran/flour, rice bran) at a maximum of 1% of the total formula.
Production of Premixes
As a versatile feed additive and binder, İncal Feedin serves as an excellent carrier for producing premixes. Its unique properties, such as ion exchange and reversible hydration, imbue the premix with additional advantageous features, including free water binding and ammonia reduction.
Scientific Evidence + Parameters
İncal Feedin's efficacy in animal nutrition is firmly established by over 20 years of practical experience and numerous scientific articles. The extensive research highlights a diverse range of positive outcomes, such as improved production parameters, enhanced weight gain, and more efficient feed conversion rates. Additionally, İncal Feedin contributes to increased nutrient digestibility, minimized caloric value wastage, heightened microbial activity in the gastrointestinal tract, stabilized digestive tract pH, and significantly reduced ammonia concentration. Its remarkable ability to selectively trap heavy metal ions, mycotoxins, and harmful metabolites contributes to improved animal welfare and performance.
Mycotoxin Binding + Health Benefits
İncal Feedin is a potent mycotoxin binder, effectively adsorbing and neutralizing mycotoxins found in animal feed. This reduction in mycotoxin presence significantly lowers mortality rates caused by digestive stress and consequently reduces the need for antibiotics and medicinal treatments. Furthermore, İncal Feedin acts as an efficient pathogen reducer and antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals to promote better overall health.
Environmental Benefits
İncal Feedin plays a vital role in promoting environmental sustainability by reducing harmful agricultural emissions and mitigating groundwater contamination. Its unique ability to absorb ammonia and control moisture and odor in animal waste contributes to improved air and water quality, fostering healthier conditions for both animals and workers.
Animal Health + Diseases
İncal Feedin has demonstrated numerous benefits in maintaining animal health and combating diseases. By providing improved growth and weight gain through increased feed conversion rates, İncal Feedin enhances overall animal productivity. Its exceptional rumen buffering properties also lead to a reduction in gastrointestinal diseases, further contributing to healthier livestock with strengthened immunity.
Optimal Dosage + Effects
In practical applications, the appropriate inclusion of İncal Feedin in animal feed has shown significant positive effects on various species. For example, adding 5% zeolite powder to pig feed can increase the daily gain by 10%-20% and raise piglet survival rates by more than 3%, reducing disease incidences. Incorporating İncal Feedin into cow feed can enhance milk yield by 6%-10% and increase the mineral content of milk. In broiler feed, adding 4% zeolite powder boosts chicken weight gain by 6% and reduces mortality. In fish, shrimp, and crab feed, a dosage of 3%-5% has led to increased daily gains of 5%-8%, reduced disease incidence, and improved color quality.
