Genuine biotransformation

EFSA acknowledged the efficacy of Biomin BBSH 797 in safely biotransforming trichothecenes into non-toxic compounds in the gastrointestinal tract of poultry, as demonstrated in numerous feeding trials.

"In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the inclusion of the additive at the recommended dose of 1.7 x 108 CFU/kg was effective in reducing contaminating DON in feed when given to avian species with a concomitant production of the less toxic de-epoxy metabolite," read the EFSA Opinion.

Beside in vitro and ex vivo studies, the efficacy was proven by in vivo studies in chickens and turkeys for fattening and laying hens. In all three, the inclusion of the additive returned the concentration of DON in excreta to or below the level seen in the uncontaminated control group.
