Tolsa, a leading global supplier of animal production additives, announced that they will display the latest feed additive solutions at EuroTier exhibition.
Tolsa S.A. will showcase its extensive range of additive solutions for the animal feed industry at the EuroTier 2022 exhibition (Hall 22, Stand D08) which runs November 15-18 in Hannover, Germany. The company says its unique products are specially developed and manufactured to improve feed quality, and thus, the livestock nutrition and performance of animals.
“Our unique mineral technology continues to expand, and we see continuing growth for our animal feed solutions in a wide range of applications that require the highest performance in the animal husbandry market,” said Marta Fuentes López, Europe Sales Manager for Tolsa. “We select the best raw materials and processes to offer the most suitable special clay additive for each specific application. Our feed additives have been well received in the market and they are highly versatile and can be adapted to meet the high-performance needs of the industry.”
Tolsa’s product offering, based primarily on sepiolite, bentonite and attapulgite, are mainly used as mycotoxin binders, pellet binders, carrier and anticaking agents, and as hygienic solutions, focused on animal performance enhancement. The additive products are made from different natural clay minerals, and their constant use generates enhanced animal performance and brings economic benefits to farmers and feed manufacturers.
The company’s Exal® is a pellet binder feed additive that improves pellet quality and productivity in the feed mill. It has agglomerating capacity that optimizes feed manufacturing parameters. In addition, it provides nutritional benefits, reduces contamination in bedding, and contributes to health improvement.
Exal® is made from sepiolite (E-562) with high purity and manufactured under a controlled quality process. It boasts high water and moisture retention, which enables it to agglomerate other feed components, as well as to absorb existing moisture in formulates while avoiding caking.
Tolsa also offers Atox®, a binder and anti-caking feed additive that optimizes the manufacturing technology of the formulates in addition to providing nutritional benefits. Atox® consists of a natural combination of smectite and sepiolite (1m558i and E-562) at high purity. This natural combination multiplies the properties of cationic exchange and specific or accessible surface, maximizing its binding and anti-caking properties.
The Atox® line includes Atox® Nature Silver, an innovative solution which combats a range of mycotoxins through absorption and avoids desorption in the intestinal tract. It aids excretion and reduces or eliminates toxicity, thus improving the health and well-being of animals. Thanks to its special properties, this premixture is an ideal mycotoxin binder against aflatoxin and non-polar mycotoxins (FUM, ZEA, OTA) and against trichothecenes (DON, T2, HT2, and DAS). Atox® Nature Silver is a natural alternative to other mycotoxin binders and has fine particle size to promote contact and adsorption.
Tolsa’s animal feed additive line has recently included suspension additives with suspension capacity, which prevents feed and supplements from decanting in liquid feed systems, including low stirring systems. The additive is primarily used in dry feeding systems to help offspring quickly improve weight level, reducing diarrhea and increasing feed intake. SPLF® Elite, which consists of sepiolite (E-562), is a rheological additive with high suspending and emulsifying capacity. The high efficiency at low shear stress of SPLF® Elite allows it to develop all its suspension capacity, including basic stirring systems.
