Feed Grade Bentonite for Livestock, Poultry, Swine and Aquaculture Nutrition
Industrial Minerals manufactures IM-BFG Bentonite Feed Grade, a high purity natural bentonite specially processed clay for use as a toxin binder, anti-caking agent and pellet binder in animal feed formulations.
We supply bulk feed manufacturers, premix companies and distributors across Europe, the United States and ASEAN markets.
Product Description
IM-BFG is derived from carefully selected natural bentonite deposits and composed primarily of montmorillonite with controlled mineral composition.
It is processed to deliver:
- High adsorption efficiency
- Consistent particle size distribution
- Controlled moisture
- Low heavy metal profile
- Stable batch to batch performance
Recommended inclusion rate typically ranges from 0.5% to 2%, depending on formulation and toxin load.
