- What Distinguishes Zeolite Pellet From Other Mycotoxin Binders?
- While other mycotoxin binders act like a sponge that adsorbs everything including vitamins, amino acids and nutrients together with mycotoxins, zeolite is a selective polar binder that has a binding affinity and selectivity only for positively-charged ions (cations) such as toxins, ammonia and heavy metals. It has no binding affinity for antibiotics, coccidiostats, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, other nutrients or feed additives. Acidic clays absorbs the mycotoxins in the basic ph environment (large intestine). However, since most part of the digestion occurs in the small intestine, the mycotoxins are transferred to the blood stream along with the nutrients before they reach the large intestine. The “clinoptilolites”, which are from the basic clay group, on the other hand, absorbs such mycotoxins in the acidic ph environment of the small intestine, where most part of the digestion occurs.
- High economic returns with a low cost zeolite yields high economic benefits with only a little expenditure. It decreases mortality rates. It can be safely substituted for sodium bentonite or other rumen buffering agents. It increases the endurance, quality and shell life of the feed.
- Safe and effective urea containing feed zeolite decreases urea toxicity and increases the intake and taste of the urea. It provides more effective utilization of the nitrogen given with the urea.
- Product Highlights
Content
Zeolite is a crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicate that has an infinite three dimensional structure. Rota mining’s zeolite contains extremely pure clinoptilolite (92% by mass on average), which is one of the most effective heulandite type of zeolite. Its highly porous structure (with a porosity reaching 50%) provides an extremely large surface area on which chemical reactions and cation exchanges can take place at a very high degree. It can absorb incredible amounts of water/liquid into its pores. Clinoptilolite has a natural negative ion charge which furnishes it with a tremendously high cation exchange capacity (cec). Thanks to cec, it adsorbs and binds ammonium, toxins, mycotoxins and heavy metals like ni, pb, hg and cd, very efficiently and effectively.
Cation exchange capacity
Cation exchange capacity (cec) is a measure of the amount of cations (positively-charged ions) that a clay can catch. As mycotoxins, toxins, heavy metals and ammonium are all positively charged, they are all easily trapped by cation exchangers. Clinoptilolite from rota mining’s gördes / manisa reservoir possesses by far one of the highest cec rates (as high as 170 cmol+kg-1) among all reservoirs in the world. Purity and cec are the two vital parameters that define the quality of zeolite mineral.

Wide Spectrum Feed Additive
- Toxin Binder: Toxins have several negative effects on ruminants including aflatoxin residue in the milk, low milk efficiency, growth suppression, damages in the liver and kidneys, fertility problems, nervous system failure, and even death. Adding 50 – 100 gr of Zeolite to the feed prevents the negative effects of the toxins. Clinoptilolite minimizes the negative effects of the aflatoxins on the feed efficiency ratio, performance and feed consumption. Adding Zeolite at a ratio of 0,5% in weight to the feed adsorbs aflatoxins at a 97% rate. It eases digestion and provides an effective feed consumption.
- Ammonia Adsorbent: Zeolite holds the ammonia that is extracted in the rumen through its ion exchange specialty and slowly releases it to the medium in a controlled manner. This way it ensures the continuous and controlled multiplication of the microorganisms in the rumen as well as the bacterial protein. It arranges the buffering of the pH in the digestion system and the gastrointestinal secretions. From the moment it enters the digestion system, it remains active in the body and continues the ion exchange until it is extracted from the body. It does not interact with other feed content.
- Heavy Metal Remover: Thanks to this superior cation exchange capacity, Zeolite can adsorb heavy metals like Ni, Pb, Hg and Cd.
- Anti-caking & Flowability Agent: Through its ability to adsorb moisture and grease, Zeolite prevents the oxidation and molding that might occur during storage as a result of moisture. It acts as a great pellet binder and anti-caking agent in preparation of the feed. It decreases the breakages that occur during the storage and transportation of the pellets. It prevents the liquid oils, that are added in order to increase the ration energy, from being released and becoming oxidized during storage.
- Add to the feed mixer together with other feed ingredients. Mix thoroughly and homogeneously. Compatible with all types of feed ingredients.
- Unless your nutritionist does not advise a different rate:
- Mix 2 – 4 kg to 1 ton of feed
- Cattle: 50 – 100 gr / day
- Small Cattle: 10 – 40 gr / day

- Application As Feed Additive For Aquaculture
Multi-functional Feed Additive
Ammonia Adsorbent: Ammonia toxicity is one of the main causes of losses in fish hatcheries. The primary source of ammonia in aquaculture systems is fish feed. And it is the principal waste product excreted by fish. Of all the water quality parameters which affect fish, ammonia is the most important after oxygen. In aquaculture systems it can cause direct death, a decrease in production, and increased incidence of many diseases (gill damage, hyperplasia, etc). Zeolite adsorbs toxic ammonia at very high rates, as high as 95%. It decreases the toxicity level of the water. Toxin Binder: Adding Zeolite - Clinoptilolite minimizes the negative effects of the aflatoxins on the feed efficiency ratio, performance and feed consumption. Adding Zeolite at a ratio of 0,5% in weight to the feed adsorbs aflatoxins at a 97% rate. It eases digestion and provides an effective feed consumption. Heavy Metal Remover: Heavy metals can adversely affect body weight, digestive enzymes and lipase. Thanks to its superior cation exchange capacity, Zeolite can adsorb many heavy metals like Ni, Pb, Hg, Cd, Al, As and Cu. Anti-caking & Flowability Agent: Through its ability to adsorb moisture and grease, Zeolite prevents the oxidation and molding that might occur during storage as a result of moisture. It acts as a great pellet binder and anti-caking agent in preparation of the feed.

- Decreases the amount of sea lice and parasite in total (especially tapeworm).
Application Method
According to the demands of fresh water fish and shrimp farmers in Southeast Asia, Rota Mining developed the pellet zeolite product from its high quality ore. The ingredient is only pure water and high quality zeolite without any further additive. Pellets are activated and hardened at a very high temperature which increases the cation exchange capacity of the product. Contrary to fish additive application in which zeolite is mixed into the feed, pellet zeolite can be used directly and can be easily pread to the ponds by farmers without generating dust. Pellet stays rigid until it falls to the bottom of the pond, and doesn’t blur the water. At the bottom of the pond it turns into powder form again and expands its surface area. Powder zeolite absorbs the toxins, toxic ammonia and heavy metals with a greater efficiency.
