Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate (HSCAS)

Mineral Formula PH Color LOI
Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate HSCAS 7.3 Off White 11.28.

Properties & Uses

Properties & uses:

When HSCAS is added in the animal food, the chemical compounds provide protection to the stomach (enterosorbent), which quickly via adsorption phenomenon binds to aflatoxins and the molds & bacterias releasing them, from the digestive tract and thus reduce their presence in the animal.

Application of HSCAS:

HSCAS is a select hydrated sodium calcium alumino silicate suitably burnt, dried, processed and graded to improve the adsorption capacity.

An average inclusion level of HSCAS

  • 5 kg/ton of finished feeds is recommended continuously in the humid seasons
  • 1 to 1.5 kg/ton of feeds throughout dry season in poultry and cattle aqua feeds.

 

  • Benefits:
    • Detoxifies feeds and raw materials.
    • Neutralizes mycotoxins and radicals.
    • Protects animals against mycotoxicosis.
    • Reduces mycotoxin levels in animal products.
    • Does not require withdrawal periods.
    • Leaves no residues (e.g. in milk meat).
    • Improves carcass quality.
    • Improves animal performance
