BIOMIN Marks 25 Years of Mycofix® and Leading Mycotoxin Risk Management
引領(lǐng)霉菌毒素風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理，百奧明®脫毒劑25年歷程
03October 2016 – BIOMIN has announced the 25th anniversary of the launch of Mycofix®, the leading mycotoxindeactivating feedadditive, initially introduced in 1991.
“It’s amazing to think that some customers have been using Mycofix® for 25 years. Clients in more than 100 countries recognize Mycofix® as the most effective and innovative product of its kind. It speaks to longstanding client relationships built on science, service and speed,” remarked Erich Erber, BIOMIN Founder and President of the Supervisory Board of Erber Group, of which BIOMIN is a part.
百奧明作為Erber集團(tuán)的下屬子公司，其創(chuàng)始人，Erber集團(tuán)監(jiān)理會(huì)主席 Erich Erber談到，“難以置信有些客戶已經(jīng)應(yīng)用百奧明®脫毒劑25年了，100多個(gè)國家的客戶都認(rèn)可百奧明®脫毒劑是最有效和創(chuàng)新的霉菌毒素處理產(chǎn)品。憑借科技、服務(wù)與研發(fā)速度我們與客戶建立了長(zhǎng)期穩(wěn)定的合作關(guān)系。”
“Mycofix® represents decades of scientific research on mycotoxin deactivation and combines the most cutting-edge mycotoxin mitigation strategies available anywhere,” said Ursula Hofstetter, Director Competence Center Mycotoxins at BIOMIN.
“Robust R&D efforts have always been a core component of the Mycofix® product line,” she explained. In 1988, the firm signed its first researchagreementon mycotoxindeactivation withthe University ofVeterinary Medicinein Vienna. Over time, further improvements and innovative ingredients that demobilize or degrade mycotoxins have been added.
These efforts have cumulated in the development of technologies that biotransform mycotoxins into non-toxic substances, starting with Biomin® BBSH 797 to counteract trichothecenes. FUMzyme® —an ingredient in Mycofix® that detoxifies fumonisins— represents the most recent example of such strategies.
Mycofix® now addresses a much broader range of mycotoxins than ever, making it an important tool for livestock and aquaculture producers throughout the world.Biotransformation will continue to play a key role in protecting animals.
“Three decades of research and academic cooperation tells us that biotransformation is clearly the future of mycotoxin risk management. It’s targeted, irreversible and has a clear mode of action,” outlined Ms Hofstetter. “Also, it doesn’t take up much room in feed formulation. Unlike other methods, it directly addresses the root cause of health and performance issues —mycotoxins— and it’s the only way to successfully handle severe contamination levels.”
Mycofix® contains the only EU authorized feed additives proven to adsorb harmful mycotoxins and to biotransform mycotoxins into nontoxic metabolites. Each ingredient has been evaluated in scientific and practical relevant field trials to assure effectiveness.
At BIOMIN we harness the power of science to support animal health and performance. By applying state-of-the-art and proprietary technology we deliver natural, sustainable and profitable solutions to the livestock industry. For over 30 years we have pioneered innovative solutions for mycotoxin risk management and gut performance. Naturally ahead.
