IN VIVO SCIENTIFIC TESTS
Some scientific studies showing the efficacy of MYCO-AD® in the control of the most important
mycotoxins affecting commercial birds are shown below.
Evaluation of the efficacy of Myco-Ad to decrease the toxicity caused by natural mycotoxin contamination in commercial layers
Type of birds: Commercial Layers
(Babcock B-300).
MYCO AD® Inclusion rate: 2.5 kg per metric
ton of feed.
Toxins used: Toxins were present naturally
in the feed (15% moisture grain).
Mycotoxicosis lesions were reported in the
birds. Analyzed mycotoxin levels ranged
from 100 to 140 ppb of aflatoxin, and from
100 to 150 ppb of T-2 toxin.
Table 8. Effect of MYCO-AD on feed conversion rate, egg production, egg weight, and egg
mass of 30-week-old commercial layers fed a naturally mycotoxin-contaminated feed for 19
days.

Conclusions
MYCO-AD prevented, in a statisticallysignificant
manner, the deleterious effects
caused by the natural aflatoxin/T-2 Toxin
combination in the layer feed.
The addition of 2.5 Kg MYCO-AD® per metric
ton of contaminated feed allowed to
significantly recover egg production, egg
weight, and egg mass. Feed conversion
rate was also improved.
