X-Bond®: The effective triple-action eliminator for every mycotoxin problem

Poultry depends on their feed to keep them healthy and productive. So, when natural mycotoxins contaminate feed crops, the impact on growth and development can be dramatic – with lost earnings for farmers as a result.

Vilomix has developed X-Bond® to minimize and prevent this risk. A triple-action toxin eliminator, X-Bond® not only binds and deactivates naturally occurring mycotoxins. It supports animal well-being and performance by delivering a functional nutrient complex.

X-Bond® is a combination of clay minerals, hydrolyzed yeast cells, and functional additives, including enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. 

X-Bond® is available in three variants, each with a one-year shelf life.

BIND

Clay minerals adsorb mycotoxins so they cannot enter the blood stream

DEACTIVATE

Enzymes transform mycotoxins into
non-toxic metabolites

SUPPORT

A tailored nutrient complex boosts gut,
liver and immune function

Are Your Crops or Feed Experiencing High or Low Mycotoxin Levels?

Detecting mycotoxins can be challenging due to their lack of impact on taste, smell, or appearance in feed. Traditional tests face difficulties as mycotoxins often bind to other molecules.

Another hurdle is the uneven distribution of mycotoxins in stored crops. Obtaining negative test results from a silage pile or grain silo may provide a false sense of security, as it doesn't ensure the absence of mycotoxins in the crops.

Binding

The bentonite used in the X-Bond® series has been tested in an in vitro trial to determine the adsorption of Aflatoxin B1 according to the EURL method. The binding rate was found to be 91.16% no matter the pH level - and is hence well above the EU requirements of 90%.

The X-BOND® exceeds the EU requirement with a remarkable 91.16% binding rate.

Deactivation

In the X-Bond® series enzymes transform mycotoxins into non-toxic metabolites. In vitro, tests were made to test the deactivation powers of X-Bond® Premium towards DON, FUM, and ZEN

Even after a few hours DON and ZEN are deactivated and transformed 1:1 into a non-toxic metabolite. The process is irreversible.

Supporting

One of the ingredients included in Progut® - a dual-function product from Hankkija that smooths the functioning of the gut.

Macrophages and CD+T-cells are commonly used markers for measuring the level of immune cells. The level of immune cells is higher when Progut® has been part of 
the feed.
