Toxinfibre is based on botanic purified monomeric, dimeric and oligomeric phenols with low molecular weight: 5,000 – 10,000 Dalton, enriched with Phyto-molecules.
Toxinfibre exerts different actions:
- detoxifying effect in several biological districts, liver included
- antioxidant action: 7.000 ORAC units/g
- digestion enhancer
- improvement of the resistance against protozoans, particularly in calves
Anti-toxins activity
The low molecular weight of the monomeric, dimeric and oligomeric phenols contained in Toxinfibre offers several advantages towards polymeric phenols (e.g. tannins) that have a significantly higher molecular weight: 30,000 Dalton:
- high solubility
- little size = huge contact surface: 1 kg of Toxinfibre
- corresponds to several hectares of surface
- high digestibility
Toxinfibre creates a capillary “net” throughout the intestinal tract capturing endotoxins, e.g. toxins produced by E. coli, and exotoxins, ingested with food. The active ingredients of Toxinfibre are partly absorbed, enter the bloodstream and liver, exerting a detoxifying action and improving liver function.
Anti-oxidant effects
One of the most important effects of Toxinfibre is the anti-oxidant activity. It delivers 7.000 ORAC units/g and contrasts, this way, the oxidative stress in all ruminant species, improving fertility, milk yield and the quality of the deposit and intramuscular fat.
Digestibility
Thanks to the low molecular weight there are no barriers to digestion; this characteristic makes Toxinfibre completely different from lignin. Lignin can in fact interfere with the digestion of cell-wall polysaccharides by acting as a physical barrier to microbial enzymes. On the contrary, Toxinfibre enhances the digestion because it contains Phyto-Molecules that promote the synthesis of digestive enzymes
Toxinfibre is used in the diets of calves, dairy cows, beef cattle, goat and sheep.
