Proven Benefits in Swine Production
Scientific studies demonstrate efficacy in nutrition and environmental control
Improved Feed Conversion
Improved feed conversion efficiency and diet utilization, with effect on weight gain and carcass yield
Post-Weaning Diarrhea Reduction
Dramatic reduction of post-weaning diarrhea with 2% clinoptilolite in the diet (Papaioannou et al., 2004)
Odor Control
Reduction of ammonia and odors in swine waste, improving the production environment
Alternative to Antibiotics
Used as a management tool in place of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs), supporting intestinal health
Swine Production Applications
Solutions for animal nutrition and environmental control
Additive for Weaned Piglets
Inclusion of 2.0-3.0% in the diet of recently weaned piglets (21-60 days). The zeolite adsorbs ammonia and toxins in the digestive tract, helping to reduce post-weaning diarrhea and support the intestinal microbiota. Used as a management tool in place of antibiotic growth promoters.
Additive for Growth and Finishing
Addition of 0.5-2.0% in the diet for swine in the growth and finishing phases. The high CEC (150-190 meq/100g) improves feed conversion by 5-8%, reducing production costs. Intestinal ammonia adsorption improves the environment and reduces waste odor.
Environmental Control in Facilities
Application of 2-5 kg/m² to bedding and floors of swine facilities. The zeolite adsorbs ammonia from waste, reducing emissions by 40-60%. Improves air quality, reduces respiratory issues, and increases animal welfare. Reduces neighbor complaints and environmental penalties.
