Pratley produces a registered mineral additive branded as Clinomix®. This is a type of zeolite called clinoptilolite, a completely natural mineral mined and processed locally by the company. Clinomix® is most notably used as an animal food additive as it is a highly effective mycotoxin binder effective in eliminating 99.9% of deadly mycotoxins in feed. As a result, many producers are now adding the product to their formulations.

Dangerous mycotoxins which may be present in certain foods are effectively bound when using Clinomix®. Bound mycotoxins can then safely pass through the gastrointestinal tract without the danger of these harmful toxins being absorbed.

Efficacy tests carried out by the SANAS-approved SGS Agri Food Laboratory concluded that Clinomix® is extremely effective at binding mycotoxins. In a sample in which the initial aflatoxin count was 4196 µg/kg, following treatment with Clinomix®, the total aflatoxin levels dropped to below 4 µg/kg. The table below summarises the mycotoxin binding effect of Clinomix®:

 

Clinomix® is part of a range of mineral products produce and marketed by Pratley specifically for mycotoxin removal. A similar product called Clinoxin® is a broad-spectrum mycotoxin binder specifically for the poultry industry. It also reduces ammonia levels and faecal moisture in poultry houses.

Clinoxin® and Clinomix® are registered stock remedies with the South African Department of Agriculture. Both products are available from Pratley in 25 kg bags and 50 kg bulk bags.
