Fartak’s A-Guard, a mixture of the highest quality components to inhibit mycotoxins

So far, more than 400 types of mycotoxins have been known, but few of them have been fully investigated, and even a limited number have a favorable laboratory analysis and diagnosis method.

According to FAO reports, despite all the efforts made to prevent the contamination of crops, 25% of agricultural crops worldwide are contaminated with mycotoxins.

The adverse effects of mycotoxins in animals manifest themselves in different ways. In farm animals, food contamination with mycotoxins can cause major economic losses.

Specific tissue damage, central nervous system involvement, and digestive disorders are just a few of these effects.

However, the losses resulting from yield reduction, reproduction disorder and immune system suppression are the most important and main concerns related to mycotoxin poisoning, and despite the use of various agricultural measures to reduce toxin production during, harvesting and storage, the possibility of contamination of products with mycotoxins remains as a potential.

Reducing the effects of mycotoxins with Fartak’s A-Guard

• Absorption of fungal toxins and biotransformation

The performance of processed clay minerals with high absorption capability and specific pore size (sepiolite, bentonite, montmorillonite, and diatomaceous earth) is such that selective absorption of mycotoxins does not interfere with the absorption mechanism of minerals and vitamins in feed. Also, yeast extract rich in glucomannans reduce the bioavailability of fungal toxins by effectively, selectively and quickly absorbing them.

• Immune system booster

A: Mycotoxins can make the animal susceptible to infection by suppressing the immune system. Beta-glucans are natural polysaccharides that have a wide range of immunostimulatory activities to enhance the animal’s natural response to pathogens. The exclusive beta 6-1, beta 3-1 diglucan molecules in this product increase the efficiency of stimulating the immune system.

B: Mannan oligosaccharides, natural antiseptic molecules, are derived from the outer cell wall of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The function of these molecules is to prevent pathogens from attaching to the mucosal wall of the gastrointestinal tract by colonizing and destroying them.

• Strengthening herd fertility

Ziralenone is an estrogenic metabolite that is able to activate specific receptors of this hormone due to its structural similarity to estrogen. As a result, ziralenone causes disruption in the reproductive cycle and finally reduces fertility with the synergistic effect of other toxins. Mannan oligosaccharide and beta 6-1, beta 1-3 diglucan controls the crisis of toxins and strengthens fertility with effective absorption and specialized function.

• Inhibiting the growth of fungus and mold with Fartak’s A-Guard

The presence of organic acids has caused this product to be used in order to prevent the further development of molds and thus reduce the potential for the production of fungal toxins.

E-Guard is a product mixed with the highest quality components and with multiple functions to inhibit mycotoxins, which can be chosen as a reliable mold growth inhibitor.

Growth of mycotoxins on fodder and grain and production of toxins

Many fungal toxins such as Aspergillus Fusarium and Penicillium have the ability to grow on grains and produce toxins such as aflatoxins, zearalenone, ochratoxin, phymonensin and trichothecenes.

These toxins are dangerous even in very small amounts and cause many problems such as reducing the nutritional value of food items, causing diseases and reducing animal performance. Therefore, a very common alternative way to reduce the effects of mycotoxins in feed and reduce their bioavailability is to include detoxifying agents in livestock and poultry feed.
