THE PRODUCT:
SORBATOX is a complexed hydrated
aluminium silicate developed to bind
chemically with the molecular structure of
Aflatoxin in an irreversible manner.
Aflatoxins and Ochratoxin are produced
in raw materials and feeds by several
species of moulds from the genus
Aspergillus. These toxins cause a range
of clinical symptoms at all stages of
development in pigs and poultry.
Other mycotoxins, including the
Trichothecenes (Deoxynivalenol) and
Zearalenone, are produced by species of
Fusarium and Penicillium.
It is extremely difficult to diagnose with
any certainty the presence or absence of
Aflatoxins.
SORBATOX traps mycotoxins as a result
of electrostatic attraction to aluminium
ions and renders them unavailable to the
animal throughout the digestion process.
MAJOR BENEFITS:
- SORBATOX is a natural mineral
product and is safe to feed to all
classes of livestock.
- It does not bind vitamins or other
nutrients.Although primarily designed to bind
Aflatoxins it has excellent activity against
Fusarium toxins such as T2,
Deoxynivalenol or Zearalenone.
- By preventing liver damage due to
Aflatoxicosis SORBATOX enables the
liver to deactivate other microbial
toxins.
- SORBATOX has an acid pH and
therefore it can be used successfully in
combination with Agil acidifiers such as
SALKIL, BACT-A-CID, PREFECT or
RABBITSTAT.
USAGE:
Use at 2 - 6 kg/Te. Typical inclusion rate
for mildly contaminated feed is 2.5kg/Te.

SORBATOX should not be used in feed
whilst animals are being treated with
antibiotics based on Tilmicosin, such as
Elanco PULMOTIL®.
PACKAGING:
SORBATOX is packed in 25kg plastic
bags.
