Summary
Biosecurity is a scientific method that is projected by engineers & farmers with fewer costs. Feed supplements are used for palatability & appetite increasing, digestibility and feed storing and pathological agents controlling example bacteria and fungi. The most of poisonous materials in animal feeds are fungi toxins. There are other poisonous materials similar to heavy metals, organ phosphorous and color pesticide and dioxin in animal feeds that are not included. Toxin binders are one of allowable feed supplements for animal feeds safety, feed preservation and healthy organs, immunity system protection into one component and many components with polar & unipolar characteristics.
The term toxin binder (fungicide) is confusing. I was assuming that the metabolites are bound to the binders, not the fungi. On the other hand, dessicants do prevent fungal growth when mixed at proper dosage.
Yes, the best method of protection is biological protection. Bacteria isolated from milk can also be used as a binder for aflatoxins.. Bacteria destroy mycotoxins at a very high rate.
