The Challenge
The effects of mycotoxins on animals can vary from acute mycotoxicosis to the
exacerbation of other metabolic problems. Mycotoxins can lower feed consumption and
feed conversion, reduce disease resistance, increase reproductive problems, reduce
production and performance, and restrict genetic expression.
The table below shows the impact of different mycotoxins on animal organs and systems:

When mycotoxins are present in feed, treating with UltraSorb can result in:
• Higher Feed Intakes
• Increased Milk Production
• Increased Growth Rates
• Improved Fertility
• Reduced Litter & Flock Mortality
• Better Herd, Flock & Litter Health
The remediation of mycotoxins should be approached as an holistic strategy utilizing
both binding and degradation technologies alongside a biotransformation capability and
recovery properties to ensure rapid and effective deactivation:

Historic Approach
Traditional strategies to address mycotoxins in feeds have included dilution of
contaminated material with “clean” feed and the inclusion of clay binders in the ration.
Many times, finding uncontaminated feed can be an issue. Feeding clay binders also has
restrictions as not all clays bind to all toxins. There is also the risk of binding vitamins and
trace minerals when clays are fed at high volumes or for great lengths of time.
Micron has developed a new strategy that employs novel techniques to remediate the
effects of mycotoxins in feeds and SHIELD your animals.
The UltraSorb Program
Mode of Action
BINDS – NEUTRALISES - TRANSFORMS
• Bentonites – bind the “polar” mycotoxins
• Yeast Wall Components – bind to toxins and pathogenic bacteria
• Yeast Cell Extracts – transform the toxin to a less or non toxic form
• Microbial Nutrient Package – supports tissue and beneficial microflora recovery

Practical Experience – Utilizing UltraSorb at a Texas Dairy
• Herd of 197 cows.
• More than 30%
of cows showing
symptoms.
• Milk increased by 8
lbs/cow/day.
• Within three weeks
there was only one
loose cow in the
herd.

Mycotoxins are poisons produced from the secondary metabolic processes which occur
naturally in a variety of molds. The amount and type of mycotoxin produced varies by the
type of mold prevalent during different environmental conditions such as temperature and
humidity. Stress on crops from insects, weeds and weather also influence mold growth
and mycotoxin production.
