Advanced Mycotoxin Detoxifiers (Enzymatic/Yeast Wall)
Advanced mycotoxin detoxifiers (enzymatic / yeast wall) are specialized feed and pet food additives designed to bind, biotransform or reduce the biological availability of mycotoxins present in cereals, milling and oilseed by‑products and finished feeds. These formulations typically combine yeast cell wall fractions (beta‑glucans, mannan‑oligosaccharides) with specific enzymes and other components targeting different groups of mycotoxins. They are intended for continuous use in concentrates, compound feeds, premixes and supplements to help mitigate the negative impact of mycotoxins on performance, feed intake, immunity and reproductive outcomes in animals.
Source
Advanced mycotoxin detoxifiers are based on:
- highly purified yeast cell wall fractions (most commonly from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) originating from the fermentation industry
- specific enzymes and biocatalysts produced in controlled microbial cultures
- carefully selected mineral and organic carriers to ensure homogeneous distribution in feed
Variations
- Formulations predominantly based on yeast cell wall, focusing on binding of polar mycotoxins
- Enzyme‑enhanced variants targeting biotransformation of specific mycotoxins (e.g. trichothecenes, fumonisins)
- Combined products (yeast wall + enzymes + adsorbents) for broader mycotoxin spectrum coverage
- Dedicated versions optimized for premixes, for complete feeds and for pet food, with different dosage levels
Applications In The Industry
Aqua
In aquaculture, advanced mycotoxin detoxifiers are incorporated into extruded and pelleted feeds for fish and shrimp when raw materials such as corn, wheat and soybean meal are at risk of contamination. Their use aims to limit the impact of mycotoxins on growth, feed conversion, skin and gill integrity and to support consistent feed intake under variable raw material quality.
Beef
In beef cattle, these additives are included in TMR rations and protein‑mineral concentrates with a high proportion of corn, silage and moist feeds where mycotoxin risk is elevated. Continuous use contributes to more stable dry matter intake, more consistent daily gains and improved utilization of energy and protein from both forages and concentrates.
Dairy cows
In dairy cows, advanced mycotoxin detoxifiers are used in rations for high‑yielding cows, transition cows and heifers, especially when corn and grass silages are stored under variable conditions. The goal is to reduce mycotoxin burden that may negatively influence feed intake, milk yield stability, fertility and overall health, while maintaining high performance.
Poultry
In poultry (broilers, layers, breeders), these detoxifiers are routinely added to premixes and compound feeds based on corn, wheat and soybean meal. They are particularly important in pre‑starter and starter broiler diets and in high‑laying phases in layers where maintaining optimal feed intake, flock uniformity and stable production is critical despite fluctuating mycotoxin levels in raw materials.
Swine
In swine production, advanced mycotoxin detoxifiers are especially important in diets for weaned piglets, gilts and breeding sows. They are included in concentrates and complete feeds to help reduce the negative effects of mycotoxins on feed intake, growth, carcass quality and reproductive performance, particularly when cereals and by‑products originate from regions with known contamination risk.
Dogs
In dog food, these additives are used in industrial production of dry and semi‑moist diets, as well as supplements and treats, when formulations contain cereals and plant proteins that may carry mycotoxins. Their inclusion helps manufacturers provide an additional safety layer in dog nutrition while maintaining palatability and technological quality of kibbles or extruded products.
Cats
For cat food, advanced mycotoxin detoxifiers are mainly added to dry diets and snack formulations with a considerable share of cereals and cereal by‑products. Their use is particularly relevant in premium and super‑premium products where safety, stringent raw material control and protection of sensitive animals are key selling points.
Benefits Of Use
- Reduced biological availability of a broad mycotoxin spectrum through binding and/or biotransformation
- Support of stable feed intake, feed conversion and average daily gain under variable cereal quality
- Additional safety layer in feed and pet food across integrated production chains
- Flexible use in premixes, compound feeds, supplements and pet food formulations
