KALLSIL^™

Anti-caking aid and non-nutritive carrier to be used for further manufacturing of animal feeds.

KALLSIL – Active Ingredients

The primary active ingredient in KALLSIL is zeolite – a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate mineral. During the development of KALLSIL, numerous zeolites and additives were screened to identify a formulation with broad-spectrum fungal metabolite control to improve feed quality. After processing, blending and packaging, the resulting KALLSIL mixture has demonstrated efficacy in reducing performance losses associated with common fungal metabolites in livestock and poultry operations.

Zeolite Mode of Action

The main mineral in zeolite (clinoptilolite) has an infinite three-dimensional, crystal structure framework with a large surface area and high moisture absorption capacity. This framework of channels and pores attracts and traps small polar molecules. Once sequestered, absorption of harmful fungal metabolites by the gastrointestinal tract is reduced, thereby avoiding negative effects on animal performance. The framework structure of zeolite is highly resistant to both heat and pH, which maximizes binding efficiency. Research has shown that zeolite can bind ammonia¹ and harmful metabolites produced by certain mold species.²

KALLSIL – Improving Efficiency of Feed Manufacturing

Moisture in feed can promote mold growth and reduce feed flowability, resulting in decreased manufacturing efficiency and reduced feed quality. By absorbing moisture, KALLSIL helps to prevent caking in feed, which limits material doming, bridging and hanging to the side of the bins or feeders. This resulting improvement in flowability of feed and feed ingredients can help producers increase their feed manufacturing efficiency. KALLSIL may also help manage mold growth by lowering moisture in feed. KALLSIL is a safe, non-nutritive carrier and can be included up to 2% in complete feeds.
