Optivite launches Ultrabond: New, effective protection against mycotoxins

A new mycotoxin binder called Ultrabond has been launched by Optivite. It has high binding ability against the most common mycotoxins and many of the most dangerous.

Ultrabond has a dual action activity, which involves a combination of immune supportive agents that empower the hepatic detox processes, by aiding health and liver function, together with an optimum balance of aluminosilicates, the surface area and structure of which maximise the absorption and retention of mycotoxins.

The binders used in Ultrabond attach themselves to any mycotoxins present in the gut and carry them harmlessly out of the animal.

Ultrabond's dual action activity of physical binding combined with the acceleration of detox in the liver is crucial in preventing performance losses whatever the mycotoxin present in the feed," said Optivite's director of nutrition Richard Remmer. "It provides the widest possible spectrum of mycotoxin control both against common mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins as well as the most dangerous such as T2. It also effectively binds zearalenone and deoxynivalenol."
