LALLEMAND ANIMAL NUTRITION ALKOSEL Among feed-derived antioxidants, selenium has a special place as an essential part of 25 selenoproteins. It plays an important role in various biological processes, such as defence against oxidative stress, normal thyroid function and optimal reproductive performance.

The selenized yeast ALKOSEL, from Lallemand Animal Nutrition, is a source of organic selenium, which is significantly more bioavailable than mineral forms such as sodium selenite. The main advantage of organic selenium is the non-specific incorporation of selenium into general body proteins. This forms an endogenous selenium reserve that can be utilised during periods of stress.

One of the most common mode of actions of mycotoxin adsorbents, as already indicated by the name, is binding of mycotoxins which prevents the mycotoxins from being absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and exerting their negative effects. Commercial mycotoxin binders vary in their capacity to adsorb mycotoxins but Excential Toxin Plus has been shown to be one of the best binding mixtures in the market.

However, some mycotoxins, such as the trichothecenes, remain difficult to bind. Therefore, it is important to include products that not only binds the mycotoxins, but also uses other strategies to protect the animal against the harmful effects of mycotoxins.
