SapoFeed – mineral material for feed production

Natural saponite component for feed, premixes and feed mixtures.

SapoFeed is a mineral material based on natural saponite, which can be used in feed production as a technological mineral component, carrier or additive to feed mixtures, subject to the appropriate specifications and permitted use status.

Material properties

What does saponite provide in the diet?

Sorption and mineral properties are confirmed by studies of the State Research Control Institute of Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives (Lvov, 2022).

Mineral nutrition

Natural source of magnesium and trace elements

Magnesium-containing aluminosilicate. Based on the total capacity of exchangeable cations and chemical composition, the mineral is a source of most macro- and microelements for living organisms.

Detoxification

Enterosorbent of mycotoxins

Sorption activity 365.2 mg/g when adding 1 kg/t. In experiments in vitro binds aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, fumonisins, DON and T-2 toxin; maximum efficiency - for aflatoxin.

Key Difference

Does not deplete the diet

By binding toxins, the mineral does not absorb amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan), vitamins and microelements - unlike a number of non-selective sorbents.

Work in the gastrointestinal tract

Active in the acidic environment of the stomach

Acid activation increases the adsorption of the mineral by approximately 1.9 times. Sorption begins in the stomach, where the main toxic load of the feed is contained.

Metabolism

Normalization of mineral metabolism

In an experiment on dairy cows, the use of a saponite-based additive increased the content of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in the blood serum compared to the control.

Purity of raw materials

Without toxic impurities

Saponite does not contain toxic impurities of arsenic, cadmium, thallium and mercury. Raw materials - Tashkovskoe and Varvarovskoe deposits, Khmelnitsky region.

The formulations are given based on the results of laboratory and production tests of a mineral feed additive based on saponite from the Tashkovsky deposit. Reports are available upon request. Dosages and recipes are agreed upon with the client’s technologist; the registration status of feed use is specified depending on the country of delivery.

Evidence base

Research on the properties of saponite

The properties of saponite raw materials were studied in specialized scientific institutions of Ukraine. Below are the results of two 2022 reports.

State Scientific Research Control Institute of Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives, Lviv Laboratory for control of feed additives and premixes
Report 1 · 2022

Study of sorption properties of mineral feed additive

  • Adsorption activity - 365.2 mg/g; It is advisable to use it as an enterosorbent in veterinary medicine
  • The cation exchange capacity of saponite is 45–90 mEq/100 g (for comparison, kaolinite is 3–15)
  • Pronounced sorption capacity for six mycotoxins; the highest - for aflatoxin
  • Aflatoxin, zearalenone and fumonisins bind irreversibly
  • The supplement is not able to completely absorb amino acids - the diet retains nutritional value
Report 2 · 2022

Impact on productivity and prevention of metabolic disorders in cattle

  • 60 heads of dairy cows, three groups, duration of experiment - 2 months
  • Comparison with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a deoxidizing agent
  • Increase in average daily milk yield and fat content in milk compared to control
  • Increased levels of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in blood serum
  • The activity of ALT and AST was within the physiological norm throughout the entire period of the experiment.

By animal species

Applications in industries

Cattle

Mineral component of the diet of dairy cows and young animals. Support of mineral metabolism when feeding with acidic feeds (silage, pulp, spent grain).

Pigs

Technological mineral component of compound feeds and pre-starters. Reducing the toxic load on the body from contaminated feed.

Bird

Component of feed for laying hens and broilers. Mineral carrier in premixes, fine fraction 200 microns.

Horses

Mineral supplement to the diet. Used as a source of magnesium and trace elements.

Sheep and goats

Mineral component of the diet under pasture conditions and a shortage of complete feed.

Feed mills

Raw materials for mineral mixtures, anti-caking and moisture-regulating component, carrier of microelements.

Safety for long-term use. In the experiment on cattle, the activity levels of the liver enzymes ALT and AST remained within the physiological norm throughout the entire period of feeding - no significant toxic effect on the function of the liver and heart muscle was detected.
