The role of bentonite
Purpose-selected minerals for feed processing.
Suitable bentonite grades can be considered as technological ingredients in animal feed, including binding and anti-caking roles where permitted. Selection must be based on the intended function, feed formulation and applicable requirements.
Where it fits
Application areas
- Pellet binding evaluations
- Flow and anti-caking assessments where permitted
- Qualification with feed manufacturers and formulators
Application-led development
What we consider
Purity and traceability
Review contaminants, relevant microbiological criteria and documentation before qualification.
Formulation trials
Evaluate processing behaviour and pellet durability with the feed manufacturer. Inclusion levels must be set by a qualified formulator.
- Animal species, life stage and target market
- Intended technical function and formulation requirements
- Applicable feed standards and contaminant limits
- Processing conditions and sample requirements
Product suitability and specifications are subject to validation and customer trials. Feed-grade qualification and compliance must be confirmed before use. No animal-health, detoxification or mycotoxin-binding claims are made.
