What is it?
MycoBind is a specialist formulation that helps prevent the absorption of mycotoxins from forage and feed, and supports a heathy digestive environment.
What are myco-toxins?
Myco-toxins are toxins produced by fungi and moulds. These fungi and moulds can often be found in hay, haylages, fruits, nuts, herbs, cereals and hard feeds. They cannot be seen by eye, do not smell, do not always cause any visual change to the feed or forage and horses usually cannot taste them so they are ingested.
Often they result from imperfect harvesting conditions or poor storage.
Ingestion of mycotoxins can result in lack of energy or spark, poor coat condition, weight loss and sometimes digestive upsets. Commonly, when seen by a vet for these issues, a blood sample will be taken, where raised liver enzymes are seen.
Feeding MycoBind on a daily basis will help reduce the damage caused by mycotoxins, alongside promoting a healthy digestive tract, and improving natural defences.
What’s in it?
Mycosorb A+ mycotoxin binder, prebiotic fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae, MOS (Mannooligosaccharides) and Beta Glucans.
Mycosorb A+is a Mycotoxin binder which prevents ingested fungal toxins being absorbed by the horse from the digestive tract. Feeding Mycosorb A+ contributes to the control of mycotoxins by reducing the absorption of Mycotoxins. In horses, a feeding rate of at least 10g should be fed on a daily basis.
MOS & Beta-glucansare a combination of Mannooligosaccharides (MOS) and Beta-glucans extracted from yeast cell walls. MOS and Beta-glucans are prebiotics, which means they create beneficial effects for resident microbes within the digestive tract. MOS is a large molecule which binds toxins produced by “bad” bacteria. Beta-glucans are able to interact with the immune system found in the digestive tract and stimulate it to improve its defence mechanisms.
Saccharomyces Cerevisiaeis a live yeast-based probiotic. We use a protected outer capsule which is capable of withstanding acidic conditions, but will then be broken down in the hindgut releasing the live yeast.
