| 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
