The Challenge of Mycotoxins in Poultry

Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by moulds that can contaminate raw materials and finished feed. Poultry are often exposed to multiple mycotoxins simultaneously, which can lead to additive or synergistic effects. These effects may include:

• Reduced feed intake and growth

• Impaired gut integrity

• Suppressed immune response

• Increased susceptibility to disease

Importantly, mycotoxin effects are frequently sub‑clinical, meaning performance losses may occur without clear visible symptoms.

Why Control Is Not Always Enough

Good agricultural practices, raw material selection, and feed hygiene are essential tools in managing mycotoxin risk. However, these measures alone cannot fully eliminate contamination. Variability in raw materials and environmental conditions means that residual mycotoxins often remain present in poultry diets.

This is why additional nutritional strategies are commonly applied to reduce the biological impact of mycotoxins once they enter the animal.

What Is Toksinoblock?

Toksinoblock is a mycotoxin risk management solution developed by NuSana for poultry feeds. According to NuSana documentation, it is designed to:

• Bind a broad range of mycotoxins

• Reduce mycotoxin availability in the gastrointestinal tract

• Support gut health and nutrient utilisation under mycotoxin challenge

Rather than focusing on a single toxin, Toksinoblock addresses the practical reality of multi‑mycotoxin exposure in commercial poultry production.

Mode of Action: Binding and Protection

Toksinoblock acts within the digestive tract by binding mycotoxins and reducing their absorption. By limiting interaction between mycotoxins and the intestinal epithelium, the product helps to protect gut function and reduce downstream effects on performance and health.

Maintaining gut integrity is particularly important under mycotoxin pressure, as mycotoxins are known to compromise epithelial cells and barrier function.

Supporting Performance Under Mycotoxin Pressure

Data presented in NuSana materials highlight that managing mycotoxin exposure is not only about preventing acute toxicity, but also about preserving consistent performance. By reducing the biological impact of mycotoxins, Toksinoblock supports:

• More stable feed intake

• Improved nutrient availability

• Better resilience of poultry flocks

These effects are especially relevant in regions or seasons with higher mycotoxin risk.

A Practical Tool for Modern Poultry Nutrition

Toksinoblock fits within NuSana’s practical and science‑based approach to animal nutrition. It is designed for easy integration into poultry feeding programs and complements existing quality control and feed safety measures.

By addressing mycotoxin risk at the nutritional level, Toksinoblock helps producers manage variability in raw materials while maintaining performance consistency.

NuSana’s Commitment

NuSana develops feed solutions that are reliable, science‑driven, and tailored to real production challenges. Toksinoblock reflects this commitment by providing a practical tool to support poultry health and performance under mycotoxin pressure, without overstated claims or unnecessary complexity.
