Boost Livestock Productivity with Natural Minerals
Scientifically proven mineral feed additives that increase milk yield, egg production, and meat quality. EFSA-approved, safe, and effective for modern livestock operations.
Research & Regulation: Statistics above are from peer-reviewed studies. EFSA has established safe limits for poultry (1% vermiculite) and pigs (0.5% vermiculite). For cattle, zeolite and perlite are approved up to 2%. Consult our team for optimal formulations compliant with EU Regulation 1831/2003.
The Science of Mineral Feed Additives
Natural silicate minerals like vermiculite, perlite, and zeolite have been extensively studied and approved by EFSA as safe and effective feed additives. They work through multiple mechanisms to improve animal health and productivity.
Improved Nutrient Absorption
Minerals act as carriers that improve the distribution and slow release of nutrients, vitamins, and supplements throughout the digestive system.
Toxin Binding
Zeolites can bind over 80% of aflatoxins and other mycotoxins, protecting animal health and reducing contamination in milk and meat products.
Enhanced Production
Studies show significant increases in milk yield (+14%), egg production (+19%), and meat protein content (+12%) when minerals are included in feed.
Solutions for Every Livestock Operation
Research-backed benefits for dairy, poultry, and swine operations. All dosages comply with EFSA safety regulations.
