Animal health
End use application
Our Attapulgite clay and Diatomaceous earth are:
-
free from mineral acid
-
high in natural porosity
-
high affinity towards sorption of trace impurities
​
End use application as:
-
feed conversion / feed additives
-
mycotoxin binder / biotoxin control
-
veterinary antidiarrheal agent
​
The addition of Attapulgite clay and/or Diatomaceous earth to animal feed:
-
can improve the ratio of given feed weight over animal weight gained in a certain period (FCR)
-
can act as a mycotoxin binder by adsorbing the mycotoxins and preventing them from being absorbed through the gut and into the blood circulation
-
can result in improved FCR
-
can treat non-infectious diarrhea in animals.

How does it work?
Our Attapulgite clay and/or Diatomaceous earth (fossil shell flour) offers mineral-based animal feed additives potential to support optimal health and productivity of poultry and livestock in Australia and globally.
A healthy gastrointestinal tract supports overall animal health and welfare that is ideal for nutrient absorption. offers non-antibiotic solution to support gut health and improve feed conversion for greater production economics.
Optimal feed conversion starts with a healthy intestinal environment. Our Attapulgite clay is capable of being utilised as a functional ingredient in mineral technology to promote optimal gut health and support nutrient absorption for improved feed conversion and yields. Feed conversion products are typically used for poultry, cattle, swine.
​
In medicine, Attapulgite clay is used and physically binds to acids and toxic substances in the stomach and digestive tract. For that reason, it has often been used in antidiarrheal medications.
