There is an inherent risk of mycotoxins associated with the feeding of maize based products, this can fluctuate seasonally, based on growing, harvesting and storage conditions and therefore risks are well known and documented. These products are fed as part of ruminant diets on the basis of nutritional advice which must always include the addition of a mycotoxin binder made up of a bentonite clay and a yeast cell such as UltraSorb R, to mitigate these risks. For more information on UltraSorb R and its feed rate please see the datasheet on our website or contact your KW salesperson.
